The self portrait is starting to actually look like something now lol! You can see the dog starting to take shape on the left now! If I work from a photograph again like this I might edit the photo a little bit first to make features stand out a bit more but I’m happy with how it’s going

      So sorry, I’m super new to the comm, and have fond memories of crosstitching my heart out decades ago —waaay before the internets. 🦕

      So, the geeky trivia re: computers creating layouts much less batch editing photos for embroidery, etc. sticks in my mind. Of course that’s old news to y’all. 😅🙇🏽‍♂️

      edit: I’m off to go check out that link and see how much a hoop & thread kit is. Thanks so much! 🖖🏽

        Happy stitching! I like the Floss Cross site a lot and not just because it’s free lol once you upload an image it gives you a lot of great tools to play with like adjusting the finished size/resolution, how many colors you want to use, and it gives you the option to edit the final pattern before you download it! I hope you enjoy it!
