I have fallen severely behind on the #SnarkySAL, but I’m hoping to get caught up this week. I have 10 hexagons to fill in. [Image Description: A close up of an in-progress cross stitch piece on white Aida fabric. There is yellow thread in the needle that is stuck through the fabric mid-stitch and part of a finished orange hexagon visible in the top left corner. Part of the outline of a green hexagon is in the bottom right corner.] #StitchAlong #BlackWork #CrossStitch #AmCrossStitching #FiberArtist https://www.instagram.com/p/Cia-T_-P9lm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Took a bit of a break from this cross stitch project to focus on sewing all the other things, but I’m getting back to making progress.

Got myself caught up on the @snarkyandmodern stitch along, which took twice as long as I anticipated because I had almost twice as many to catch up on than I though. Filled in 8 hexagons between yesterday and today. [Image Description: White Aida fabric in a square Q-snap frame with 49 hexagons arranged in a large flower shape made of 7 smaller flowers made of 7 hexagons each. Each row is a different color in rainbow order starting with purple at the top, fading to red, then orange, then yellow, then green, then blue at the bottom. The top 26 hexagons are filled in with patterns of linework and the rest are just outlines.] #CrossStitch #SnarkySAL #SnarkySAL2022 #Blackwork #AmCrossStitching #FiberArtist #Embroidery https://www.instagram.com/p/CgS-bZoL7rs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Realized far too late that I had made a mistake on the cross stitch portrait I was working on, so I started over. Then I realized I made a mistake on that one, but it was early enough to unpick and fix. The bad part of the way I’ve chosen to approach this is that it started with the shadows and it make the faces creepy. I’m posting daily progress updates on my @kofi_button page if you want to keep up more often than I’m posting updates here. I also offer commissioned cross stitch portraits of you are looking for a unique gift. You can find the link in my bio (or in my stories today).

Can anyone else see the first face outline yet? I’m never sure if it’s really visible or if I just know it is there because I can see the pattern.

It’s been a while, but I’ve started another cross stitch portrait. It’s gridded in a circle because I started in a hoop before I found my other q-snaps, and I didn’t bother extending it because I was already not using it anymore. (Shameless plug, I have commissions open for these on my @kofi_button page, link in bio) [Image Description: White Aida fabric with blue grid lines marked within a circular area in the center with a small group of dark brown stitches on the center.] #CrossStitch #AmCrossStitching #WIP #CrossStitchPortrait #CommissionsOpen https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd9tY7aLihW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Week 11 of #SnarkySal is in the bag. Or, I guess, on the fabric.

Week 8 of the #SnarkySAL is finished! Finally figuring out a rhythm of how to fill these patterns in.
