Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

This is the cross stitch i`m doing so far. This is only one quarter of what i have got to do.
It`s been awhile since i`ve been on here. I`ve been bush having a son and he`s taken up all my time. So i haven`t had a chance to do much. But now i do a hour here and there.

Shhhh. Dont tell anyone then. Thanks. This one i am doing now is about 4 times bigger than what you see here. What i mean is i have to do 4 times more than what is here. This one is such a pain since i have to do 1 cross stitch then keep changing colours. It`s going to take a years or so to finish i ...

Ok, it`s not much, but here is the update. I still couldn`t work out what is is yet if i didn`t know already. Can you ?

Well i have not been here in awhile. I have dont abit more, if i wasn`t doing it then i still wouldn`t have a clue what it is. I have made a couple of mistakes, just hope they dont show in the end. I will try and get a progress piccy on here soon... To do it ass is going to take a long time. Will be ...

:thinks: and then :thinks: some more. Nope, I have no idea. Congrats, you've stumped the panel. :applesauce: So, now are you going to tell us what it is? Please? :lol:

Have we seen your previous 2 projects? You won't keep us waiting too long will you?

Well if you start at the beginning of this ...

Considering i`m a bloke. And alot of people think cross stitch is more a girly thing to do and a few people say doing it on black fabric and how small the stitch are and that some people wouldn`t even attenpt to do what i am doing. I am quite chuffed having 2 finished already and doing such a ...

Well i`m not saying what it is yet. I will say that this is only 1/4th of the size it is going to be when it`s finished.

This one has 79 different colours

This is the 3rd cross stitch i am doing. Can you guess what it is yet.

The 3rd cross stitch i am doing is serioulsy difficult. On a 26ct black evenweave fabric and the stitches are all over the place. Sometimes i am doing 1 cross here and 1 there and that can be about 20 or 30 on 1 colour so i am forever starting and finishing 1 cross at a time. I think this one is ...

This one took me about 2 and a half months. Probably about a hour or so a day.

Here is my finished cross stitch kit no. 2

2nd complete cross stitch coming soon. When i get a chance i`ll post it on here for all to see. Thank you all for your kind comments

Well done you! :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce: That looks like quite a complicated kit for a first attempt -- is that metallic thread I spot? I applaud your courage!

So.... have you decided on your next project yet :-)?

Hi, yes i have finished my 2nd one too, i will show that soon, i am ...

Hi, here is my first finished cross stitch kit.

WHY DID YOU DELETE MY POST ?

THAT`S NOT VERY NICE IS IT !!

Thanks, I`ll have a look.

you`ve certainly got that right, they are well hard to get hold of. I have decided to go for a 18ct aida fabric or a 22ct cloth fabric. I have 11ct that is 36" x 19". So if i get a 18ct it needs to convert down....let me check......396 stitches by 209 stitches for 11ct. 18ct works out at 25" x 14 ...

ok, i see no one wants to recommend anything, it`s ok, i have sorted out what i need, thanks for all of your help, you have all be very helpful.

The size of 1 cross stitch is 1 to 2mm in size. What would you recommend for that ? I done want anything too big ? I think 2mm would be ok. i dont want anything bigger than that, i like the finer stitches.

wow, that is a good idea. So to do the 11 count that i just bought, all i have to do is find a smaller aida, now why didn`t i think of that. Thanks for the idea, i think i`ll do that. Now all i have to do is find the aida and skeins.

( edit that, i got loads of skeins.... all i need is the fabric )
