New! Caron One Pound, Caron Simply Soft and Herrschners 2-Ply Afghan palettes - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
New! The Herrschner's Worsted Palette - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
New! We've just added the palette for Deborah Norville Everyday Yarn! If you knit and/or crochet, this is for you. This is a beautiful yarn with a nice feel to it, a good alternative in worsted weight acrylic! (Thank you again to BetwixtTheStitch!)
New! The Red Heart Super Saver Palette - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
Welcome to Stitchboard! Feel free to sit and stay awhile. Check out our new Premier features. In addition to the ability to create larger patterns (up to 500 stitches wide), illusion knitting and private labeling (no more worries about editing those pesky and messy PDFs), we've just introduced Filet Crochet, our most popular request! We have many more features planned, too!

Thank you so much! I used to be allergic to fractional stitches, but one day I was backstitching over a project that had none whatsoever and it could not stand how it looked! So I decided to just add them in where I see fit. It does not always work, trust me, but I think it looks great on the cupcakes. But I totally understand, they will look great with just full stitches, too.
I did do about 20 minutes of math getting these straight, even though I was never that good at math.
But I
bought this tool that is a ruler-like gauge thing, and you can use
it to tell what count your fabric is and there are numbers that
tell you how many stitches every inch, that sort of thing. It is
not 100% necessary because you can always just remember 14 count=14
stitches per inch, but it is really nice for charting designs on
cloth and stuff like that.
I decided that I have enough for three rows of four cupcakes each, and I will display them all on one big pices of aida, maybe write 2020 somewhere if it seems right. As for spacing, I really just do it as I go along, I will probably copy the same amount between January and February, because I do like how that looks. Even though the cupcakes are slightly different heights, I try to keep all of the bottoms along the same line, even though I obviously did not do that here From now on they will be along the same bottom line.
Melanie,
I love how your school system works.. Ours is crap :p
We have untill february 4th to pick a topic. The project is a group thing if you want too, but you will have to defend your work individually..
Luckily all my exams are oral this year.. I only have one written exam..
Of course the written
one is math, which I absolutely HATE..
Sorry.. Can't stop laughing at your beading project... I hate when it happens to me, but i can't stop laughing when it happens to others... LOL
Sorry :p
Hugs
Welcome!
I started with cross stitch, too! I enjoyed beaded cross stitch, but found beadweaving to be more satisfying. I still like cross stitch, but don't do near what I used to...much prefer to weave beads!
Feel free to share pics of your work, so we can all drool!
I posted one* FREE soap making how-to book for Kindle for today...if you're interested, please grab it before it's gone! (Note: you do not need to have an actual Kindle. If you have a smartphone, you can download a Kindle reader app for FREE...if all you have is a PC, you can download to your PC...and I believe there may also be a way now of completely bypassing any kind of reader app to read directly online - though please don't quote me on that, as I'm not sure. I find the PC reader to be quite decent for "how to" ebook content...since I don't own a Kindle, I can't say how well it works...but I would think a smaller screen would make a how-to book kind of difficult to read.)
Here's the circle (you must join to see posts):
/circles/pg/groups/36435/crafty-bookworms/
* This is technically a two-book bundle...the second book is about making body butter and lotions.
