Thanks! It's kind of nice being the only person I have ever met that isn't 100 who cross-stitches. haha

It's very easy - you just need to make an "x".
You should stitch the Ferrari - you might like it! It's cathartic.

Have you ever known anyone to do "the stitch"?
How large would you say that picture would be finished?
Also - how long do you think it would take to stitch that? I can usually make an hour-approximation if I know how big it is, or the stitch count per square inch.
p.s. I don't want to get your hopes up, I can't stitch that for you. My cross stitching binges are often saved for unemployment or prolonged illness.
But guessing is fun! hahah

Well, if it's the size I think it is, it would probably take at least 150 - 200 hours of SOLID stitching. Usually several months.
Or if you are unemployed and OCD like me - you can put in a solid 10-14 hours a day of stitching - in which case it only take a couple weeks.
You're probably going to be real slow at the start - so you better get crackin'.
I believe in you!

this one is 10 inches x 4 inches, sounds awfully small imo.. has 36 colors, all separated for YOUR convenience..
i think you could whip this out in a week or two..

Camman - it's very satisfying if you do it yourself. Plus you get to feel like your retirement-age...and that's pretty fun!

I already have my own stitchin' work, that was a LOT more intense than I had thought it would be, and I'm months away from fishing because I gotta work.
And in the year 2022, when I finish - it will look like this:

The race car picture is pretty small. The above picture is a very small thread count per square inch (the stitching canvas you buy can have a lot of detail per inch, or less).
Your picture would probably fit into the bottom flowers and about 1/8th of that big sugar-skull girl pattern.
I cheaped out and didn't buy the above pattern, and just did it off an internet picture. NOT the best idea - it's hard as shit without a pattern.

yeah, i read the second one i posted is a counted cross stitch, which i think just means a blank canvas, and you have to follow the directions and count the holes in the canvas to know where to put the colors..
being i'm pretty color blind, i don't think cross stitch is the sport for me..

Actually - your pattern would probably turn out AWESOME.
You could just guess which colours you thought were what.
Are you red-green colour blind?
It could turn out to be something epic...your own take on cross-stitches!

It's A LOT of counting. The canvas is always blank first - I think?
