Aaaand done! Making it with glow in the dark floss, even if it's pain in the ass, was so worth it! I couldn't find any aida that I liked and making it on plain white was too boring, so I made good use of my waste canvas. #CrossStitch #embroidery #dnd #fiberart #handmade @fiberarts

Cross stitch on pastel colored blue and pink fabric in a round hoop. The cross stitch shows a D20 with a nat1. Under it the word FUCK is written in big letters. Letters and dice are in a blue gradient with yellow stars. The numbers are white. Around the cross stitch are beads and stars sewn onto the fabric.

The same work, now in darkness and the white floss and the sewn on stars glow

I have been looking for a hobby to keep me from doomscrolling. This was half done and in an op shop so I modified and finished it. #embroidery #crossstitch

Cross stitch in an embroidery frame on a lace tablecloth. Main design is a pink rose but down the side I have added “This too shall pass but WTF”

I really enjoyed these two talks at #39C3 (Chaos Communication Congress) about fabric and textile work, cross-stitching, embroidery, etc. Crafts, art, hacking, resistance, and even the programming language Ocaml.

I still need to work out how to do the eyes, but this is working!

(I've never done #crossstitch before, but when I found an online "designing" tool it became interesting.)

This is a pattern I designed a few weeks ago.

An ant done in cross stitch. It's a simple pattern.

Do you want to design a cross-stitch pattern? This website is neat.

Now to try to figure out how to print this. If it works it could be fun to make different species.

I think I'd like to see how small I can make the patterns. Since I am very lazy and won't complete a big complex project.

There are also sites that will convert photos, but the results look like waaaay too much work to really make.

“I don't always start projects, but when I do I start 30 of them and leave them all half finished.”
#CrossStitch #SadButTrueForMe

A small cross stitch piece with a text that reads: I don’t always start projects, but when I do I start 30 of them and leave them all half finished.
The letters are backstitched in black on tan cross stitch cloth. At the bottom of the text is a stylized flower with a pink and a red bud and sketchy green leaves. — A small cross stitch piece with a text that reads: I don’t always start projects, but when I do I start 30 of them and leave them all half finished.

Found this fantastic old shopping list in a fantastic old #crossstitch pattern book. Can anyone on mastodon read #shorthand? #askmastodon

A small yellow piece of paper found between the pages of a cross stitch pattern book. The list reads: book token, cake, ham, c. beef, biscuits, crumble, c. apples, veg. Underneath is some short hand - what does it say?
