so @titusandromeda asked me how to plan out a cross stitch and I'm answering in a text post so I can add pics bc a bitch is thorough

idk how much of this you already know so I'll just take you through how I do it!

this website has a text generator with a bunch of different fonts to play around with, it's hella handy! observe:

short answer: start in the middle! this is roughly 45 x 60 stitches - the A of "suck a dick" is about the middle, so that's where I would start (to find the middle of your fabric, just fold it into quarters and lightly crease it, you can always wash/iron it out later). how much fabric you need depends on the count, aka number of stitches per inch - 14 count fabric = 14 stitches per inch (14 and 16 count are probably the most popular esp for beginners, I use 14 pretty much exclusively). so 45 ×60 stitches at 14 stitches per inch = 3.2 × 4.2, so let's round up and say 4 x 5 for the text alone. personally, I'd leave about another 3 inches of extra space on all sides to add a border and a little bit of slack to mount or frame it. that site also has a handy dandy calculator function to do this work for you!

another couple of things to keep in ur back pocket:

you can get free and inexpensive patterns basically everywhere - pinterest, etsy, whatever, just google!

don't worry about what the backs of your pieces look like. it doesn't matter! it's fine! life's too short!

TAKE BREAKS. more than once I've hyperfocused and spent hours hunched over stitching a piece and then my neck is at a 45 degree angle and my hands don't work. don't be like me, kids

when you're finished, I'd suggest hand-washing your piece in cool/lukewarm water with mild soap like Dove or Ivory (so feel free to make light pencil marks while you're working on it if you need to, you'll just wash em out) and lay flat to dry. this might not be 1000% necessary, but the oils from your hands might discolour the fabric as it ages, so I think it's worth it! you can also iron it lightly on a low setting, facedown, if you feel like you need to. just be careful with the wet piece bc sometimes thread isn't totally colourfast (I've never had an issue with this, personally).

ALL THIS BEING SAID, you almost definitely will miscount your stitches or fuck up at some point without catching it and end up with something a little off-center or whatever. that's annoying as fuck but it's basically inevitable, so try to roll with it. sometimes u spend hours on something and it comes out a lil wonky! that's how she goes! death is inevitable! it's fine!!

sorry if this seems like A Lot - honestly it's pretty smooth sailing once you get the hang of it. hmu if anything's unclear or you have questions!! 💖

“I have a boy”

Name???

HIS NAME IS FRANKIE, but he more regularly goes by finkie 

he is about 5 years old 

he was not very forthcoming about his favorite color, but I somehow suspect it’s yellow 

and this is not a fact you asked for, but I will tell you anyway, he loves to go outside and chase lizards. he’s not very good at it. he never catches them. and sometimes when a lizard happens to be right in front of his nose, he doesn’t actually notice it. but he likes to go out there and scamper around chasin those lizards

Story i thought youd like: my friend saw christian borle the other day--just yknow goin about their respective days around nyc like they do i guess--and she recognized him. and christian apparently went like wide eyed and had this half tired half terrified look of 'please no,' which sorry makes me fucking laugh so much. and she didnt cuz shes good like that. shes also informed me that his hair is coming in rather nice, bc i specifically asked her for that update. So yeah das it

oh my gosh. yeeeeah i know that look and i feel so bad cuz some people are just crazy towards him and they tend to overshadow the nice fans. but anyway that’s cool that your friend saw him! and yes hair updates are always important haha

[superbatson]
