I've noticed quite a lot of members are into crafts and needlework (yes, I'm one of those who actually read the members profiles
).
I love to cross stitch! Anyone into that? I thought we could share tips and tricks and talk about projects (past and present). I've just finished a small picture in needlework (not x-stitch) and have started a big project last night. It's a celtic pattern in greens and corals and looks a bit like a rug. I chose it because it's easy to stitch without constantly looking at the chart (lots of repeatitions and large areas of colors. Good for stitching in front of the TV
And a question for any expert stitchers we may have here. I stitch on aida or on one of those large holes evenweaves. I tried to stitch on linen, but it's so difficult getting the X's right. I can't count threads for each stitch so my X's lose symmetry and get very ugly
Any advice on that one?
