#no knots ever please #I'll a-ok with saving leftover bits of thread #if its too small to save it become stuffing for other toys #and i find that miscounting mistakes are minimized with gridding #(though you have to be careful to count your grid correctly)

I don't use tumblr for original posts that often but I'm so proud of this I'm sharing it everywhere. The cross stitch project I've been working on since May 2021 is finally complete!!

#cross stitch #someone finishing a epic Pokémon cross stitch is always worth celebrating

“the arts and sciences are completely separate fields that should be pitted against each other” the overlap of the arts and sciences make up our entire perceivable reality they r fucking on the couch

#I'm a Materials engineer PhD student #and the coolest guest speaker seminar i went to #had a Dr from a museum in the nearest large city #and his job was to identify and preserve all materials in the art museum #it was so incredibly amazing

U say to urself "i dont need notches, ill know how to orient the pieces when sewing bc i made the pattern" this is the devil speaking. Put notches in ur pattern and cut them into ur fabric. Youll be glad for it

There we go, tomorrow I get to start my least favorite bit: the motifs

The hands in these patterns are so small and blocky but I think she at least matches Arwen, that’s the important thing

#pretty! #cross stitch

I am proud of myself because I have completed another page from this Middle Earth Map project! According to Pattern Keeper, I am 26.4% complete. I've also have been working on this for over 900 days (so like 8 more years to go?), but I also have taken breaks for other projects. At some point I need to post what I made for Christmas presents and get back to making clothing for the Legolas doll.

Close ups, progress gif, and more below!

Here is the full back of the piece. I still think that it's turning out pretty neat!

Here's the front of the latest page. I can never read any of the 3-4 stitch tall words during the close up or while I'm working on it, but I can from the zoomed out photo. It's crazy.

You need to see a close up of the back too, right? I can tell that I've gotten a little messier since the first page (top left corner), but it's still pretty neat overall!

And of course, a cool progress gif to finish us off! I definitely forgot to take a few progress pics this time around, but I still think it's pretty cool!

“Temporary stitches” all stitches are temporary if you have a pair of scissors and aren’t a coward

I never did the final update! 😞

So... Cross stitch update!

It is finished 😁

Two and a half years I worked on this, but I finally finished it like 2 days after the last time I did an actual update. I need to get it framed and then hang it in my apartment somewhere.

#cross stitch #omg 2.5 years! #good on you op

[oliviastitches]

@carrieneuman did you make the pattern or buy it? And if you bought it where? I would like to have this pattern if possible

Finally finished. Tohru and Kyo from Fruits Basket.
