breaking work rules just to say: I can’t believe the apparent hatred that people who make cross-stitch stuff have against 18ct

why don’t they make 18ct waste canvas

how come when I want a pretty color of fabric or w/e I have to go looking on the depths of the web to find anything

18 COUNT IS A PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE SIZE OF STITCH – BETTER THAN 14 COUNT FOR MOST THINGS – AND YOU SHOULD CATER TO THAT YOU COWARDS

Yes! I literally only stitch on 18 or 20 count Aida. Fuck those fabric snobs!

Especially if you’re working on anything bigger than a few inches, 18 ct or higher is the way to go! It gives you more control and more detail and just looks better!!

Somewhere you wrote something about a phoenix cross stitch. Did you ever get that done?

I assume you mean the little mythology babies I was doing? No, I haven’t gone back to that. I was going to do 9 squares or so and then make a quilt with them but I think I need to re-evaluate the project and make some adjustments. Sorry!

If/when I do it I’ll make the patterns available. The gryphon, unicorn, and dragon that I did before are available for free on my blog. Somewhere.
