Is back stitching for cross stitching the same as back stitching for amigurumi? I've always been fascinated by them and admire what you can do with string to create something like that!

Aww, thanks for sharing that, that's lovely. I've read the Tale of Peter Rabbit when I was a kid, too, but back then, I wouldn't have remembered any authors, just the stories. ๐Ÿ˜…

Thank you! I enjoy back stitching, so I take my time with it and try to get all of the lines to be straight and match up. It was a kit I got off of a seller on Etsy. Someone above posted the link to the direct manufacturer, but there are lots of resellers online.

Two votes for frame. Thank you!

I got it from a seller on Etsy, but direct from the source is good. Thanks for finding it and sharing!

Thank you! No Walmart here in Australia, but Kmart and Target are the go. I'll take a look, thanks for the suggestion. ๐Ÿ˜Š

... Is that a Harry Potter reference? ๐Ÿ˜… I'm so new back in to the cross stitch scene, and I live under a rock.

Oh, I hadn't thought of that, that's great. Thank you!

Thank you! I had a lot of fun with this one.

 

Am I right to assume "FO" is "Finished object"?

Slow going, but I've had a busy week. Had a wild Friday night with the last of the back stitching.

Now to figure out what to do with it.. Frames can be expensive. ๐Ÿ˜ฃ While I think on it, on to the next one that's been sitting for a few months ready to go!

Happy Friday, everyone.

Madness. Looking forward to your WIP Wednesdays. ๐Ÿ™‚

That's so good. How long has it taken to get this far? I was eyeing this up last year as my first project back from a long hiatus, but thought the better of it. It'd take me years.

Aww, thanks! ๐Ÿ˜Š

WIP Wednesday (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) by StickyDango to c/[email protected]
 

First time posting here. I've finally learned how to navigate Lemmy a little better and have landed here. Thank you for having me.

I used to cross stitch as a kid, and I've picked it up again 25 years later. I'm really enjoying it now that I can count better ๐Ÿ˜‚

Here's a project I picked up last year. I bought it online on Etsy at https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/794868860/foxes-in-the-leaves-easy-cross-stitch?ref=

Slowly making my way through it and enjoying every minute.

Edit: Have never attached a photo before, so I've attached it in to URL box.

What's this bug? (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago by StickyDango to c/bugs
 

I've lived in Australia for over 5 years now and I've never seen this bug before. Tried all sorts of Google search keywords to no avail.

Found it hanging on my window. I live in Central Victoria.

Does anyone know what this is?

Thanks in advance.
