I’m getting bored of this and may start a new project soon. Then come back. I’m just low on fabric. Any good scraps projects? I liked the bookmark one from the other day.

    Wow, thanks for drawing a circle around where you’re working, captain obvious. /s

    That is seriously so intricate. Can you share any tips for dealing with cramping hands?

      I wear compression gloves when working on it, and regularly stretch my hands and neck. Also eye breaks are important too.

    I didn’t realize just how much work cross stich really is until I saw this picture. If your looking for ideas, I think the 8-bit style really lends it’s self to this. Something retro and cool like Castlevania or Mega Man would be pretty sweet.

      What this person is doing is kind of a massive project for cross stitching lol! It looks amazing, but there are tons of smaller easier patterns that don’t take nearly this much work if you’re thinking of trying it out!

    Are you selling these? I’m guessing you can get a lot for them.

      I thought about it but said this size isn’t really worth the effort. This has taken me three years and maybe 6 months of that I was working on this alone.
