Reporting in with final progress stats from #24HoursOfCrossStitch

Admittedly I did cheat a bit and let myself have a break on Sunday so did the last 4 hours last night. But still, it was a lot.

24 hours. 3833 stitches, 3.81% of the entire pattern done in one weekend!

Now if only I could make that kind of time every weekend... 😅

@lemmy_stitch Eight hour update! Averaging 171sts an hour which isn't bad considering we're also marathoning Futurama at the same time and we accidentally watched Jurassic Bark 😭

24HOCS starting point!

I've decided to work on my full coverage project for #24HoursOfCrossStitch, as this one hasn't had any love for a couple weeks so it'll feel good to get some progress.

Of course, at 2 over 1 on 28ct fabric, 24 hours is often less visible progress than you might think 😅

The pattern is "Autumn Stories" from Paine Free Crafts, and for reference I'm currently at 25.26% complete!

Good luck to anyone else taking part. I believe in you!

Who's gearing up for 24 Hours of Cross Stitch this weekend?

For once I've actually remembered its happening, so to celebrate maybe I'll actually take part! Not sure I can really manage 24 whole hours but maybe if I make it a long weekend and fudge the numbers slightly 😅

Only problem is I'm supposed to be #sewing this weekend as well...hmm this is gonna be a busy few days!

Who else is in?

@lemmy_stitch

Sometime back in April there was a #24HoursOfCrossStitch weekend, and given that I had zero chance of managing it I set my own rules instead.

Basically, I've very slowly stitched a total of 24 hours across two specific projects, and it's time to compare the before and after!

4 hours went on the small pattern which was easily completed. But my full coverage? The 20 other hours weren't even enough to finish the current page 😭

Anyone doing the #24HoursOfCrossStitch challenge this weekend?

I only found out about it on Thursday night, as per usual, and had plans today so 24 hours is out of the question. But I still took these starting photos yesterday and will see how far I can get!
