Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Hello!! I am new here too and I really enjoy the forum. Everyone is very nice and helpful!

I am just curious and this may be kind of a dumb question, but what makes evenweave fabric different from Aida? I thought Aida was a type of evenweave.

Wow! You stitch so fast!! It looks great Sarah!

Thanks everyone! I like both Stone Sour and Slipknot, but I like Slipknot just a tad bit more. My parents and sister thought I was crazy for cross-stitching a picture of them. haha.

Very pretty. Nice job to you both!

Ok... so I have been working on this thing like mad today, and I got quite a bit done since the last time I posted the picture (in my introductory thread). I am almost finished this quadrant and can finally move on to another part of the picture! Yay!! :) I apologize for the terrible quality of the ...

thanks so much!!

Hello :) I was wondering where I could find blackwork patterns. This isn't urgent or anything, I was just curious because I find blackwork really beautiful. It doesn't seem like it will be that difficult even though it looks rather complex. I never found kits or anything around here either. Maybe be...

Well done! :applesauce: It's absolutely beautiful. I love the colors that you chose as opposed to the original picture you posted from the book. Very cool and I am impressed that you stitch so fast! I am glad you could get the thread to finish!! ! :applesauce: Since you are a new stitcher you may no...

Looks wonderful! :applesauce: Might I ask how you stitch the colors? it doesn't look like you do color by color or line by line, but rather like the way an artist would paint a picture. How do you not get confused? I am just really curious by the way, being new to cross stitch and everything. :wink:

Hi Harriet!! Welcome to the forum!!

I love this pattern! Great job so far!! I look forward to seeing the finished project!!!

Thanks for all the kind words! I thought I was in a bit over my head with doing a self-made pattern as my first project. It was a little tough because I have to stitch in the background too; there is so much black/dark navy/navy as well as 6 shades of red. I just go very very slowly line by line and...

I am a little late getting to this, but I am also new here... :P I think I may be the odd one out on this one; I stitch line by line. It's easier for me and I like to see the project slowly come together. If I did color by color, I think I would get really confused easily, but then again, this is me...

My good friend in college got me interested and we have a stitch-a-long on Fridays. :wink: I would also like to post what I have been working on so far: http:/...
