Finally finished on the portion of the two copies of ! WHOO HOO!!! Now the easy part-- ! As you can see, I already started around the central circle on the Sun, so the backs aren't very impressive yet. When I'm finished, I'll be correcting the pattern, posting it to Ko-Fi (emailing an updated, CORRECTED copy to those with the unproofed version), and then on to much a much less complicated project! for ! 😄🥳🎉🥳🎉

Haven't posted progress pics in a while, so I thought I'd share. This is two copies of . Proofing the pattern as I go, since I was an idiot & allowed excitement to override common sense prior to posting it on Ko-Fi.

How I use a Trolley Needle as a Laying Tool while Railroading stitches in Cross Stitch

@Fermion Yes. A is a type of , though the manufacturer says it can be used for other purposes too. In , a laying tool is used to make sure stitches lay flat. I use mine to help me catch knots starting to form as I'm stitches so the don't get unmanageable. I also feel that they look much nicer combining the Railroading with the use of the trolley needle.

@MrJameGumb Bobbins, floss caddies, all fabric in a computer bag, most tools in floss box with one section always open for ORTS (cleaned out following each project). Also have some "Stitch Folios" to keep hoops, larger fabric scissors, some craft baggies and a few other things in like pin backs, D-rings and split rings (for key chain fobs), etc. Extra skeins are in a gallon sized ziplock in the same computer bag as the fabric. I use the Thread Stash app to help keep track of embroidery floss.

@MrJameGumb I still do all mine by hand. 🙂 I have a bit of OCD, especially when it comes to organizing cross stitch & other creative supplies. But I'm also a little strange to most people because I actually enjoy winding bobbins almost as much as I enjoy stitching. I think I was just wired to love textiles, art, crafts--anything creative altogether, whether it has to do with the supplies to make pretty things, organizing them, designing a new project, kitting it up--whatever. I just love it all!

    Progress on --stitching while proofing the pattern (which I foolishly neglected 2 do before posting on Ko-Fi). Not as far as I normally WOULD be because of a break to work on a ...thing. (Master & Mistress Crocheters will have permission 2 laugh at hysterically once finished.)

    Call me crazy.

    This is the beginning of a long cardigan (about mid thigh), needle size 2.75 mm, gauge 26 sts/10 cm, yarn is 500 m / 100g pure linen.

    So all the fun things in one neat package.

    And I'm loving it so far.
