I had forgotten how much I used to benefit from xStitch.
I was encouraged to take it up while in a nursing home recovering from an accident.
I find it helps to relax me, time to get it all out and start relaxing again.

Wow those are awesome!
I want to do some of those too, but I don't think I'm good enough to try the big ones yet. >_<
I have two tiny free ones from a mag. I saw the prices for really big pictures and don't think I'd want to waste the money in the early stages of learning but they look so beautiful!
How long have you been doing that?
I really like the first one. =3

Thank You. I started in 1990, and have not done any for a few years now.
I don't buy the kits as they are too expensive, I buy the patterns and everything seperate that way I can spread the cost and quite often I already have most of the threads I need anyway.

I think I might do that, as I might want to alter the colours.
I like things in negative, and psychedelic colours. It'd be cool to alter a picture with your thread for either of those effects. Or even a sepia tint but that might be very difficult.
I've never seen the back thing on its own though. =/
Do you do it on a cloth or with those squared materials? >_< I don't know the terms. But I know my aunty and her daughters used to do it a lot and they just did it on plain cloth with a pattern which looks really hard. I'd probably not do the x's the same size at this level. lol
But I've not seen the square material thing plain and for sale. o.o

I'd be interested to see how much sense I just made with that. haha
