stitching test on the monk's cloth i wanna use. DEFINITELY want some spray starch to stiffen things up.

threads from top to bottom are

crochet size 5

6 strand regular dmc

crochet size 3

might use mostly regular and size 5 for a texture change for the butterflies and the bees.

yoboseiyo,
@yoboseiyo@retro.pizza avatar

have done 2 rounds of starch, both sides. now am marking with a hot water soluble pen so i have my 10 grids to make it go faster.

yoboseiyo,
@yoboseiyo@retro.pizza avatar

this is 1/4 marked out in grids.

yoboseiyo,
@yoboseiyo@retro.pizza avatar

the squares are done!

got some peel and stick water soluble stabilizer because the monk's cloth was still too wibbly. you can definitely tell which side is stabilized.

yoboseiyo,
@yoboseiyo@retro.pizza avatar

other half stabilized and it is now Enframed. pretty steady and tight.

yoboseiyo,
@yoboseiyo@retro.pizza avatar

stabilizer was definitely what it needed. this is much more like regular aida now. i really need a shorter, but sharp, tapestry needle tho. gonna have to look in my test tube of needles.

yoboseiyo,
@yoboseiyo@retro.pizza avatar

going remarkably well, tbqh. 🧶

@yoboseiyo@retro.pizza avatar

yoboseiyo,
@yoboseiyo@retro.pizza avatar

today's progress, courtesy of a curved needle from sibling. tomorrow will be mostly crossing these stitches to complete them, and then i'll turn the frame to do the other end of this column. may shorten the sides because this is pants. #crossstitch 🧶

yoboseiyo,
@yoboseiyo@retro.pizza avatar

have gotten to the point where i have turned the frame! i have 93 rows of 10 to do to meet in the middle there. #crossstitching 🧶

@yoboseiyo@retro.pizza avatar

moar progress, but i am now out of black. more on the way, but i bought a bulk pack and it won't be here for like, 2 weeks? ugh. overseas shipping. #crossstitch 🧶

yoboseiyo,
@yoboseiyo@retro.pizza avatar

went through and figured out what thread i HAVE and what i NEED. i.... need a lot of thread. good thing it's .66 a skein. 😬

but i did all the pink stripe i had thread for!

yoboseiyo,
@yoboseiyo@retro.pizza avatar

listen, mistakes were made.

but it's too late to restart, so mistakes will have to be followed through. this will be one heavy blankie, but damn it'll be pretty. #crossstitch 🧶

an angled shot of the same small crate full to the brim with dmc embroidery and cross stitching threads. it is a riot of colors.

firat pink stripe fully complete! #crossstitch 🧶

yoboseiyo,
@yoboseiyo@retro.pizza avatar

spent some time marking out the next stripe. it has 2 bufflies crossing it, so not as many stitches, but more planning.

yoboseiyo,
@yoboseiyo@retro.pizza avatar

a whole skein, cut into sections as long as my wingspan, split into groupings of 3 strands each, and set out. ready to go for the new stripe. (i'm tired, so i think i'll start tomorrow)
