Lauren you are so sweet! That has got to be the nicest shout out I've ever had 💖 so kind of you!! I found the coral and fish talk so interesting!!! What an amazing hobbie! Also I adore that last WIP you've been working on 😍 I bet it looks even more incredible in person!

I loved hearing about the aquarium’s, very interesting. Some of them are stunning. X

I've never seen the Botanical SAL before; it's so lovely! ❤ I'm doing the Deadly Aquarium SAL too. I started it the day it began, and I'm still near the beginning. 😂 I had 31 new starts last year. 😂🤣 This year I'm trying to focus on finishing some of them. I love your new starts and your choices of fabrics! ❤ I think it's awesome that you and your husband had a marine life business; I love marine life! 🥰 Thank you for the shout out! I really appreciate it! Happy stitching!! 😊

The kits you got are lovely, I use markup rxp and I have scanned paper patterns in and I have marked the individual symbols with no problems, I have only picked my up cross stitch again in the last couple of months and I love a digital pattern to mark off x Also they have a KZbin channel showing you how to do everything which I found very helpful x

[@thevioletstitcher1985]

glad to see you're keeping up with the 1 start a week plan for this year :)

[@CrossStitchBunny]

😂😂😂 There are no such plans... Buuut i am itching to start the wolves 🤦

[@aussiestitcherintexas1600]

For Luca-s I emailed them with a photo of my kit and they sent me the pdf which was pattern keeper compatible.

[@CoffeeandCrossStitchNicola]

I completed the Deadly Aquarium last year and really enjoyed it, and it looks great! With the long lines, every 10 stitches I did just a half stitch instead of a full cross which was really helpful in helping to keep count and making sure things were placed correctly. Then when the whole piece was finished I just had to go down each line and turn them into full crosses, which didn’t take long at all.

I was cooming onto comments to say the same thing ❤

Hi Lauren I've scanned a paper pattern as a PDF and then uploaded it to PK, I think I had to input all the colours, but as long as the legend is included in the scan it should work. Probably not as smooth as a direct PK upload but nonetheless.

In reference to your paper chat. Download goodnotes. You can take a picture of the chart and then highlight the area you’ve done. You can make notes etc on it. I love goodnotes I don’t use anything else I just import pdfs in there. Ovb it won’t give you stats but I don’t care about the stats personally so that wasn’t a thing for me

Fab flosstube Lauren. I recently brought a Luca-S kit and it came with a QR code to download a digital copy. Hopefully you have one too? See you soon xx

[@CrossStitchBunny]

Oh! , was the code inside the package rather than on the outside somewhere (ive not actually unsealed them yet) x

[@suzypersaud9586]

Inside 😊

What werewolf books do you choose? I love the Mercy Thompson series.

[@CrossStitchBunny]

@@angiefittro8372 i haven't listened to that one. I have the Galetea app on subscription and it has thousands of audio books with a lot of them being wolf stories 🙂 so I tend to pick something on there. They have a series called the millennium wolves and the royal lycan universe, i like both of those. They also have a non wolf series though which is my absolute favourite that I've listened through multiple times called Fairy Godmother Inc by F. R. Black which has I think 9 books (& counting) so far.

[@angiefittro8372]

@ the author is Patricia Briggs. I love that series!
