Morgana cross-stitch I made for my girlfriend

Original Post — Direct link

This project took about a year and a half, and it's size is 200 x 200 (around 12.5 inches), that's 40,000 individual crosses in 27 diffrent colors. I also took 2 breaks from this piece to make 2 smaller cross-stitches, that being Swain and Mundo. This is what it looked like while it was drying after being washed.

The third photo is the color diffrence before the wash as I had tape on the edges to prevent freying. I hope you guys enjoy taking a look at this piece! Hopefully we can find a good fitting frame and hang it up somewhere nice. In the meantime, I have already started another (non league) related gift for one of my girlfriends sisters that is much smaller comparatively.

Thank you so much! It takes more time, but I really don't like stretching string all over the canvas. Especially if I make a mistake and have to take it out, it makes the whole thing confusing haha

Yeah same. I try not to run more than like 5 squares, but sometimes I'm just immensely lazy T_T. Do you hoop stitch or hand stitch?

I use a hoop when I can just for convenience, helps with hand cramps from holding the fabric too. But for this one, since it was so big, it was basically covering the entire span of fabric, so on the tops and bottoms as well as the sides it wasn't feasible to use one.

I really want to invest in one of those standing/lap frame holders. I feel like it'll help with hand cramping because my hand holding the hoop always cramps.

You should check out the square PVC working frames. I swapped to one a few months back and it's been great for square projects.

I actually have one of those standing things and I HATE it! Usually I do my work on my computer and it forces me to sit way farther back than usual, it's a pain in the ass to store, and it doesn't ever really sit in a stable place that I'm used to. Though what doesn't work for me may work for you but that was just my experience with it! Is there a link or something so I can see what one of those square things are? My girlfriend works at a craft store so that where I get all my supplies but I havnt really looked outside of that for anything before.

Oh sh*t! I usually cross stitch on my couch while watching tv, so I thought it'd be nice. Plus then my cat can sit in my lap :3

Yeah something like this. They're super nice

Oh yeah, if you don't have a desk or something in front of you then I think it might work a lot better haha. Also how do you watch TV while stitching?! I am always looking up and down but I feel like I'm always missing stuff!
