LibbyEverything was hard today. An absolute struggle, but I finished my <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/crossstitch?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crossstitch</a> project! I have been almost finished for an eternity 😂 It’s been a lot of fun to work on the border.

Krikket<p>Stitch mail arrived, unpacked, checked in, and almost all sorted &amp; carded and I have the itchiest fingers to start one of these new projects, but I still have multiple WiPs.</p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/CrossStitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CrossStitch</span></a></p>
Krikket<p>Pattern Keeper cross-stitchers - if you are doing a pattern, and it has a stitched background color you don't plan to stitch, do you mark those stitches off before you start, or do you just ignore them? I'm thinking I may have made the wrong choice.</p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/CrossStitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CrossStitch</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/PatternKeeper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PatternKeeper</span></a></p>
