Today I reviewed Inkcircles.com and walked viewers through their cross stitch pattern website.
Squirrels of Sumatra
There’s a ton of unique and fun cross stitching patterns on this site, none so unique as their SAL (stitch along) project!
From their website:
Stitch Along on a project unlike any you’ve ever made. At this point you probably know it is a map, specifically, “the M.A.P. or MAP”, but yours will be superbly unique. Each person will create something truly original using just ordinary cross stitches but some very unusual techniques in laying it out. This is the opposite of sitting back and following a chart verbatim. This is a SAL for the intrepid adventurer. The level of customization (partly by your own choice, partly by the fate of the dice) will give stitchers a challenge and plenty of opportunity. You’ll be best served with a set of polyhedral dice (think Dungeons and Dragons), but alternate methods can be used if you can’t or don’t want to acquire a set. This is a great project to use up little bits and oddments from your stash, although I’ll provide a generic color palette to start. There will be places where hand-dyed and metallics would be fantastic, but DMC would just great. The suggested size is 300 stitches wide by 200 high , but the dimensions of the project are highly variable too – the larger your extents, the more things you can fit in. The fabric can be linen or aida, in any count you enjoy, in any color that you think would make a good background.
There’s so many unique cross stitch patterns on their site. Do you like samplers? They have them in a wide variety of styles and colors!
Do you like fun, smaller projects that would look great on your wall at home? Maybe you’d like to start on a Christmas gift for someone?
