Tangled Floss

Blogging embroidery, mostly cross stitch.

Finished last night, a very stylized blackwork daisy on 14-ct black Aida. My own design.

Love the color gradient effect!

*Knee of my pants tears*

Me: Clearly the only logical course of action is to create an embroidery pattern of Master Chief by hand on graph paper, cut up an old curtain, and use modified cross-stitch through two layers of fabric to put John Halo Himself on my otherwise crappy pair of jeans.

Bad photo of the pattern I made in case anyone else wants it (I might try to digitize it later, Idk):

[tangledfloss]

This is so cool!

[blatantescapism]

okay so as someone who fits this stereotype, I’m curious.

How many of us belong to the fiber arts / neurodivergent / cat person trifecta?

(I would ask how many of us are also queer, but this is Tumblr.)

For purposes of this poll, if you make any kind of fiber / yarn / fabric / textile / sewing arts or crafts,

or if you have a strong special interest in them, regardless of ability or desire to create,

you are a Fiber Person.

And if you self-identify as neurodivergent, regardless of official diagnosis status, you are Neurodivergent.

Are you a neurodivergent fiber person who has a cat

Yes! I’m a fiber person, I’m neurodivergent, & I have at least 1 cat

I’m a neurodivergent fiber person. I’d like a cat, but I don’t have one 😿

I’m a fiber person and I’m neurodivergent. I don’t want to have cats.

I’m neurodivergent. I aspire to be a fiber person with cats (yes join us)

I’m neurodivergent. I aspire to be a fiber person, but don’t want a cat.

I’m a fiber person and I have at least 1 cat, but I’m actually neurotypical

I’m a fiber person. I’m neurotypical. I don’t want cats. (???)

I’m not a fiber person, but I love cats and want that fact recorded!

Interesting. I’m definitely part of this trifecta.

Who wants a kiss?

I replaced the 06 in the scales with old rose diamant grande so she sparkles a little

I'm trading in my cats for a catball.

The first one looks so real.

The second one looks kinda disturbing.

Fantastic work!

Just lovely.

Found this adorable bakery pattern on etsy a couple months ago and decided I wanted to gift it to my coworker as a farewell gift once I started my trainee job.

I didn't want to start working on it while I was still applying to places though, as that felt like a) very bad priority setting/ time management and b) a jinx. So I started as soon as I'd signed my trainee contract a month ago and have been doing barely anything else ever since. I set the deadline as my last day of work originally, which would've been last Saturday, but I ended up mostly working at another branch shop for the last three weeks anyway, so I'm going to bring it to her either tomorrow or on Wednesday.

It's the first cross stitch pattern I've ever done, as I only started stitching a year and a half ago and have been mostly focused on blackwork during that time. (As a result I wildly underestimated how long a cross stitch pattern this size would take to complete orz)

[tangledfloss]

Beautiful work!
