@jkirkendall @knitting Feeling pretty left out and somewhat peer pressured by everyone learning this lately, but sometimes peer pressure is a good thing ๐
Congrats!
@bitflipped Definitely with you there! In this case the app in question actually has a pretty good export / backup process but I just got complacent and didn't use it enough. Worked out ok in the end but it very nearly didn't and my lesson is learned! ๐ฌ
@MrJameGumb Sounds like something a super cool YouTuber might already have given up on, more like ๐
@Jornia @Drachin @lemmy_stitch Will let you know how long this takes and if it was worth it in the end ๐
@Jornia @Drachin @lemmy_stitch Sadly mine has so much backstitch everywhere PK can't really make sense of it. But you know what, I'm in the groove, I'll just keep going.
For science! ๐
@Jornia @Drachin @lemmy_stitch Thank you! Mine is significantly smaller, but still big enough to be a pain in paper form, so sounds like I was on the right track all along.
*rolls up sleeves*
@ubermeisters Ah right, I was thinking maybe you meant people scan in the paper version, project it onto the fabric and sketch it out or something! Other way round makes a lot more sense ๐
@ubermeisters May have to look into this at some point if I ever stitch any more of their paper-only patterns!
Um, has anyone ever bothered manually converting a decently large paper pattern into digital?
Was it worth the time you saved during actual stitching?
Because it seemed like a really good idea to give myself a Pattern Keeper version of Errol, but this much took me half an hour, so maybe not...
Is it too late to be posting spooky stuff?
This took me like a week to stitch, another week for my fingers to heal up, and then I went and forgot to post it ๐ญ
My first ever hand embroidery piece. Not too shabby, I reckon! Good tree ๐
My official last project for the extended #FallFinishAlong. Roll on the next one!

Mildly belated but cute-as-heck FO
Keep forgetting to post this finish, so let's do it while I think on!
This is Ocean Wonder from Caterpillar Cross Stitch, it was their subscription box number 13 and I think we can all agree it's adorable.
I think my favourites are the little turtle and seahorse friends, can't decide between them!
I have no idea how to FFO this but it's a problem for Future Michelle ๐
Artecy freebies for October
This month we've got a colourful tree that I really like the look of (90 colours, but it just might be worth it!), and a quintessential Italian coastal town.
This is, as promised, a reminder to cross stitch pattern hoarders everywhere ๐
Grab 'em at http://artecy.com/free.html
Given how much I enjoy knitting socks, encourage others to try knitting socks, and basically never stop talking about knitting socks, I thought you might all appreciate the project notes from my first ever socks.
PSA: Artecy freebies for September are up.
I'm sure most #CrossStitch & #Embroidery folks are already aware, but #Artecy give away a couple of their patterns for free each month.
Exactly *when* the page updates each month is anyone's guess, so I just have a calendar reminder to keep checking back so I can catch 'em all ๐
Anyone else who likes to collect and hasn't seen the latest update yet..behold! https://www.artecy.com/free.html
@Nusm @NFL_bot Such an exciting combination to watch ๐ค
