Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

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 going to take a good year or more.

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

Wow, looks beautiful. But I have no idea what it is.

It looks very nice, but I too don't know what it is.

you work looks fantastic i think it looks a bit like a bull dog at the mo.

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

79 colors and black fabric?! You be brave and maybe just a little mad .

now im really intrigued.....

Me too!! Give us a clue!!!

I think that it looks like a face....but the person is looking away from the stitcher.

Wow 79 colors that is quite an undertaking.

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 complicated 3rd already.

Yes, you must be proud of yourself! You do beautiful work.

It's got me wondering ...I'm pretty much clueless though at the moment.

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

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 thread and follow it through, you can see the first 2 that i have done.

As for the one i am doing now, it will probably take a year or more, there is alot to do, and no i`m not telling what it is yet, you will just have to keep guessing as i do it and show progress photos on here.

Well my guess is a bear

Well, clearly it's a ... I mean it's obviously ... couldn't be anything but a ...



Nope, sorry, not a clue

Your 2nd project is stunning! (sorry, a bit late ...i sort of missed this thread)...and for the 3rd one...I can't exactly guess...but I'm sure it's an animal, too! ( a tiger...perhaps?... )

Duh Sorry, I saw (and commented) on the first two projects. It's just that as I get older (and older), my memory fades now and then. Besides the first two were two whole pages ago. I can't remember that far back . Sorry. Your work is very good. As for the third, I still haven't a clue.

I think it's Tin-Tin taking a prancing Deer for a walk
