I like to do the number of stitches of the temperature of the day, like if it's 83 degrees, I do 83 stitches. I decided to just add those to the piece I do all the monopoly stitches on (I follow Jenn the caffeinated crafter's monopoly game and "play" as the dog). I didn't want to switch pieces, so I'm not.

I just got randomly recommended your video (probably because I do a lot of full coverage pieces and I watch flosstube and WIP parades). That is a lovely finish! I'm watching while trying to finish the 2024 HAED SAL, also doing the Cat. I hope you continue with it as it does turn out beautifully. And big yes to getting to 5% on stuff. As to the HAED "mass exodus", most of the artists were retired back in Feb. because of the whole Sheena Pike thing, where she was with HAED, then with Charting Creations, then both and the owner didn't like that. And then a bunch of other artists got caught up in the backlash due to having the same agent as Sheena. Though, yes, some have left over the whole AI thing. That sucks about them not getting back to you about the chart. I did sign up for the 2025 SAL as I really did enjoy them when on the Bulletin Board. They were smaller and there were fewer choices (also free). I don't like that they went bigger, but I think I can do the 6 pages to get the other charts. I can totally understand not deciding to participate.

Welcome back! I am a huge nightmare before Christmas fan, and (to me) that piece of weird hair looks like the hill they stand on. Maybe it’s worth a thought if that’s the only thing keeping you from stitching on it. I enjoy all your full coverage pieces, looking forward to seeing 2025!
@shaunpstitches9 күн бұрын
Thank you! Yeah a couple other people have mentioned that, and while I can see that being the intent it is just drawn too wispy and hair like, especially coming off of Sally's head. And I think I never thought of that because it doesn't do the full spiral at the tip.

I’ve watched this twice and keep meaning to comment 😂 Totally agree about the HAED situation. That’s pretty shit what she did regarding that chart you got, but honestly not surprising. And if you “go public” and post it in the Facebook group you would get banned and blocked because she can’t take criticism. I don’t like what they did with next years Sal either. More money, charts are larger to make it harder for people to finish, and if you do you get one pattern instead of two. Granted they have the free patterns for every 1k participants but those aren’t of your choosing so if you don’t like them, sucks to suck. Love the parade btw, it’s about time you posted 😂😂 hope to see you again before the end of the year 😂
@shaunpstitches9 күн бұрын
Yeah I have heard that about posting in the group. I'm expecting there to be people upset they don't get their free charts year because they did something wrong in their submission. That is the other thing I was going to mention is that it seems to be unecessarily confusing and strict to submit for rewards, almost like they want people to do it wrong. I just started watching your four part parade, I should finish by the new year LOL! I thought I had a lot of WIPs, wow!
@paulashelgren569612 күн бұрын

I totally get why the hair of Sally is bothering you. I would recommend just to cut the pattern yourself. I use the "mark full page" option in pattern Keeper and just mark anything I want gone and stitch the rest. So you will not have to restart or buy a new pattern. You can frog anything that will be visible when framing, which won't be much in your case, and the rest of the top left corner you did will be cut or folded to the back anyway :) I absolutely feel the same about haed and the haed SAL.

I can see how that could be the intention, and I hadn't thought of that I think because it doesn't fully curl back in on itself and it's drawn wispy like hair so I'm not sure if I can get over my initial interpretation.

I have issues with HAED charting. I feel that they are more concerned about releasing as many charts as they can as quickly as they can rather than taking time to manually adjust charts after the software has converted the art to cross stitch.

I also mainly stitch full coverages. Four years ago I restarted stitching with pre-printed kits from AlieExpress... and today I'm into HAED's, Artecy, Charting Creations, Stitching Jules and many more designs..... They are so much fun to stitch. What a beautiful hobby we all have. Thanks again for your video and hopefully to see you soon again. A new subscriber from Switzerland 🤗

Losing a furry family member is never easy, especially when it's so unexpected. We lost our border collie in an accident on January 9th, 2006 and I still miss that dog every day and find the date hard every year, so I understand a bit. I enjoyed the WIP parade; I love seeing the full coverage pieces that people work on even though I haven't yet found one that really called to me to start. 🪡👠

Hey Shaun. So sorry to hear about losing your kitties. I had to put my dog down earlier this month and the silence is deafening at times. I make my cross stitches like \ first then /. So for my full coverage pieces done in tent stitch, I use my lower leg as the stitch so \\\\. This makes more sense to my brain so that regardless of what WIP I'm working on, I keep starting each stitch \ then I just do the second leg if it's a full cross WIP. Hope that makes sense! Good to see your WIPs!
@shaunpstitches Жыл бұрын
Thanks Kim! Sorry to hear about your dog. Yeah I am the opposite I go / first then \. So when I have tried to switch to tent on something already started it had to be \ to match the top leg of the full crosses, and I just couldn't get my brain around my only stitch going the opposite way from what is normally my first stitch. So I am hoping with starting a new project with tent and going / it makes it easier on my brain LOL.
