SPS Stitchalong '23

It is July, and despite the varied nonsense Prism and Fry are drowning in, Prism blacked out in a fit of insomniac creation. Thus, back by popular demand, the SPS Summer Stitchalong ... uh ... finds a way.

Here is our official color palette for this year (DMC 826, 824, 833 or E3852). Grid is once again 40 x 30. We will not try to gently troll like last year. This is straightforward stitches. Two colors (one light/one dark) of your choice and a "gold". You are welcome to challenge yourself with a metallic, but any gold shade is fine. We do believe the metallic will improve the intended effect.

Our first pattern post is WEDNESDAY the 5th! See you then!

I took part in this years mystery SAL from @shitpostsampler and while I was at it I threw in last years one since I'd missed that one. I'm trying to decide if I want to make them into little pillows or make frames for them. It was fun having small quick projects, I used some leftover aida from making a biscornu, the blue one I used leftover floss from my sisters wedding gift and the sin bin I used generic off brand flosses.

I started a couple days late because I wasn't really feeling up to stitching anything, but I'm caught up now! Shitpost Sampler's stitchalong~ I used the blues they suggested, but I had a 728 I'd already started using up, so I'm using that for the gold instead ♥

Doing the mystery stitchalong by @shitpostsampler gave me the confidence to tackle this bigass dragon pattern I got for christmas last year. It's been fun so far!!

@shitpostsampler Stitchalong 2023 is complete! Yes I used the metallic thread :D

I haven't done cross stitch in a long time, this was fun to dip my toes back into it :)

I'm behind on the SAL, and I don't have the colors, but I'm doing my best!

Day 5 of the @madxstitcher #stitchalong Only one color today, but it a little bit kicked my ass. I watched the entirety of Don't Trust the B---- in Apt 23, and fought off my puppy a couple times. #crossstitch #crossstitchersofinstagram #embroidery #xstitch #grid #mystery

SPS Stitchalong '23 - Day 12

We did it!

The final day is today! Thank you for doing this with us yet another year! We have some fun things under the cut for you besides the final square as well.

If you missed the previous post, go here. Otherwise check under the cut!

This year the mystery was as much the art concept as the words, in case anyone was curious this is what Prism named the file:

So, when Prism sent this over to Fry, the major question was "Is this too sappy?" and honestly, despite the question, it seemed like a good emotion to run with. Each one of us is an individual and remembering that we cannot be a cookie-cutter and pure ideal, but rather the best versions of our often damaged and repaired selves that we can be was what we wanted to put out there for everyone. Also that we all take work and care to keep in a functional state, but we are worthy of the effort.

Also for the science minded folks, @siseja made this suggestion and it fit, so bonus pattern!

We also believe in this!

Thank you again for taking this journey with us and for those of you that wrangled with metallic thread with us for the month, bless you. And as always,

Happy Stitching!

SPS Stitchalong '23 - Day 1

It Begins

For notation purposes, the white x's are the lighter blue, and the dark squares are the darker blue. Hopefully the gold/yellow is self evident. If you missed the setup post, you can find it here.

We will see you on Friday for the next installment! Hooray!

Happy Stitching!

SPS Stitchalong '23 - Day 3

It's getting put up later than intended. Fry forgot to eat and then went on an adventure in low blood sugar for a bit.

For those of you asking -- We plan on releasing new parts every M/W/F until we're done. We realized we didn't tell people that, and just assumed everyone had known from previous years. Sorry!

Anyway. Pattern is behind the cut!

The metallic is really the challenge of this piece. We're not even jumping around this time.

If you missed the previous post go here!

Happy Stitching
