But for now you just need to sit back and admire your beautifull finish!Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16423132358597956771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1663751962319871004.post-76640750834301056282013-09-15T15:53:10.326-05:002013-09-15T15:53:10.326-05:00Good luck with your goal which look very similar t...Good luck with your goal which look very similar to mine, though I do not always honor them, expecially the ond on new starts...<br />Bye!<br />Cinzia Cinziahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08589765015589138561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1663751962319871004.post-36895542312327443142013-09-08T15:55:25.046-05:002013-09-08T15:55:25.046-05:00Good luck dear for your September goals

I really love the Octopus frame, it is like a porthole to the sea.<br /><br />I'm amused that you like Cross Stitcher mag because I've just cancelled my long-time subscription to it as I didn't like anything for over a year now. They have lost their "Britain's No 1" on sales title to World of Cross Stitching too. I do like JCS and subscribe to that now. I do think there is a certain amount of "fatigue" from seeing the same style of designs though. After three years of getting the Hallowe'en and Christmas ornie issue I am not quite so "wow, wow, wow" at everything. I can see where some people are churning out the same old same old each year now.<br />The style of the writing is also rather dated compared to the Cross Stitcher mag.Jo who can't think of a clever nicknamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02663450738390351663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1663751962319871004.post-5818729776639439232013-09-08T02:51:14.880-05:002013-09-08T02:51:14.880-05:00Good luck with your September Goals. xxGood luck with your September Goals. xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01673653598949870076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1663751962319871004.post-86399003041183925602013-09-07T18:44:48.457-05:002013-09-07T18:44:48.457-05:00Cool I'll have to check it out, also I just re...Cool I'll have to check it out, also I just realized my real name is used on this... This is Saffity from Moonlight Legend in case you were confused about this weird person commenting to you :P. Thanks for the resources! I'll definitely be checking them out. <br /><br />Also just noticed you said you'd check out our blogs too, if you want to watch my knitting (Including the row counting bracelet you made me ages ago that I still use when I need to count rows), it's over here: http://jessieknitsandsews.blogspot.ca<br /><br />I'm really looking forward to seeing more of your cross stitch, I'm currently heading backward through your blog looking at all the pretties.<br /><br />I also peek in at ML once in a while to see what's going on there, but I'm so super busy that while I whine that I can't join, I know I wouldn't be a good player right now.<br /><br />Anyway, thanks again! I'll be putting those links in my bookmarks.<br /><br />SaffSaffityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11399280364304938490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1663751962319871004.post-84488195424554773842013-09-07T18:26:10.087-05:002013-09-07T18:26:10.087-05:00Hi Jessie, we're trying to do that with the ma...Hi Jessie, we're trying to do that with the massive yarn stash around here as well. I bet both of us could go a few years without buying anything and still have tons left to do. :3<br /><br />Hmm, for stitching here are some good sites. A number of them are freebie pattern sites (all legit) so it's good for the budget too. :) If you look around on Blogspot, there are a lot of free patterns to be found.<br /><br />http://freebiegallery.blogspot.com/ (has links to free patterns)<br />http://thesnowflowerdiaries.blogspot.com/ (patterns)<br />http://www.brookesbooks.com/crossstitchfreebies.html (scroll down)<br />http://www.themakingspot.com/patterns/crossstitch (filter for freebies)<br />http://www.picturethisplus.com/store/products.php?cat=20 (fabrics)<br />http://stephsfabbys.com/ (fabrics)<br />http://www.123stitch.com/ (all sorts of XS supplies)<br /><br />For magazines, I like Cross Stitch and Needlework, and Cross-stitcher (a UK magazine). Just Cross Stitch is a popular US magazine but their style is stuck in the 80s or something. I gave up subscribing to that one a long time ago.<br /><br />And if you use Facebook, the group called "Stash Unload" has a lot of members selling patterns and supplies for good prices. Me too, haha :)Rahennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00007461088152918148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1663751962319871004.post-58584482498227610812013-09-07T16:20:50.142-05:002013-09-07T16:20:50.142-05:00Good luck with your goals!

I'm trying to knit from my stash and use up some of the yarn that's been sitting around for years.<br /><br />I love your octopus frame, it does look like a port hole to me! Fantastic reuse of the clock frame!<br /><br />I can't wait to see more of you AAN project, it's a bit spaced out now and a little hard to see what it's going to look like when it's finished but that makes it more fun.<br /><br />BTW I do some cross stitch, what are you favourite resources (Magazines, websites, etc) for patterns and materials and tips and such?Saffityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11399280364304938490noreply@blogger.com
