It was 24 Hours of Cross Stitch again this weekend and one of my 2024 craft goals was to take part in more stuff like that. So I cleared the calendar and went for it!

We ended up with a few people in my Discord doing it, and a few people on Mastodon threatening to but not quite getting there. Still, maybe next time lol.

Normally I regret joining this challenge by the Friday night but honestly this time it flew by. Possibly because I had to stay up until 4am Sunday morning anyway to watch the Packers get knocked out of the playoffs, so there was a lot of extra stitching time!

Really happy with progress here especially since Errol was the real victim of me getting so sick for the last bit of 2023. This is more like it!

p.s. @MrJameGumb@lemmy.world for reference this is 2 over 2 on 36ct.

p.p.s 19-21st April next, for anyone thinking of giving it a whirl ;)

    Thanks! 300 daily is impressive, and so far out of my reach. Just have too many other craft projects on the go, which I suppose you could argue is my own fault.

    Just thought to actually check how many stitches I did during this and it’s 2345, which yes that’s less than 100 an hour, but I had to do some frogging and also was very tired by the end lol.

    Definitely a lot of fun though, maybe you should get the April edition in your calendar 😉
