I = Fail...again
Awhile back I agreed to finish a cross-stitch pattern for a friend of my dad. I didn't know it would be a kit, I certainly didn't expect it to be a kit with a stamped on picture.
What the hell is the draw?!
Not only do the holes not actually line up with picture but the stamp itself is crooked!!! Anyone who knows how OCD I can be I'm sure can imagine how twitchy this makes me.
I thought I could be happy saying to hell with the pattern. But I find myself second guessing everything I do which definitely isn't making this easy. I'm getting aggravated at the thought of working on this pattern.
neekabe thank you so much for getting me started with a self made kit! I think if I'd been given something like this I might never have touched cross-stitching again. Although it's really hard to say since I wouldn't have had any experience with it before then.
I would be so much happier if I could just stitch my own picture and on that note I keep adding more pictures to the list of things I want to stitch ^_~ I do however have my first paid commission, my uncle is insisting on paying me for my time. He hasn't decided yet what picture he wants me to use but he does want it to be relatively small with a high stitch count and lots of colors so this makes me happy. I'm going to stitch a pattern in the near future on 28ct using all the holes.
I had one of those completely black 'duh...' moments the other day. I was discussing stitching on 28ct and that I was sure the holes would manage two strands and it might just get really messy or whatever. I was about to post a question on the cross-stitch community to see what their experience was. And that's when it occurred to me, in all its shining glory! whether doing over-2 or over-1 you're using the same sized holes....yep...but at least it came to me ^_~
