Yeahhh Emily well done you on sewing in some ends 👍🏻. I’ve nearly done the first section of part 1 but who knows when I’ll get chance to do anymore as work for the next couple of nights and then off to Ally Pally Saturday 🤭. What a lovely cross stitch advent calendar 😻 xx
Absolutely love your clue 1! Enjoying your daily updates/vlog. I did giggle when you got tangled. It had mind of its own. I took up some cross stitch this summer, after years of not. Forgot how much I enjoy it.
Thank you so much! Lol oh I know 😅 Cross stitch is so lovely and so happy to hear you have picked it up again. It was a recent pick up for me late last year. I also forgot how much I enjoy it too 😊
No worries about my comment yesterday - just to say, take care of yourself! If your x stitch is using dmc, I've washed aida and linen with completed stitches in my machine on cotton cycle using vanish with the usual detergent. For my worst stains (cat paw prints), i poured liquid vanish directly onto the embroidery. I'm not sure what vanish might be known as in the UK though. It's like colour safe bleach and advertised as being effective due to its "oxy action". The only issue Ive had is supposedly brass drawing pins rusted while i landed up on a ventilator last year, and using my usual wash to try get rid of the rust stains i made holes in the linen instead - so that combo of chemicals isn't great!!
Love your clue 1 and wish i was a faster knitter so i was up to section 3. Since your cross stitch dmc is old, i would recommend testing the thread for colourfastness, especially the reds before putting the whole thing in water. Carefully handwash - there are heaps of you tube clips on how to do wash cross stitch
Hi Emily i am new and enjoying your videos loads the cross stitch is about 26 to 27 years old as my mum made that for 28 year old daughter And she's still using it now , good luck finishing
Not only sewing ends in, but also remembering to actually refill the windscreen washer bottle in her car! In South Africa the attendants at garages do top up everything for you, but I never remember to top up the soap!

Oooh Emily love your “found” cross stitch project. I don’t feel so bad at having 20 year old WIPs!!!
It's lovely isn't is! Huge blast from the past for me 🥰 Is is definitely my oldest WIP.
Yes, I agree maybe middle of shawl? I’m enjoying the knit but lots of ends to weave in 😂.
It does give me middle of the shawl vibes 🤔 Oh gosh I know what you mean. There were so many for clue 1 😅

Hello and welcome 🥰! Oh wow thank you so much! It is such a lovely cross stitch and so happy to hear that someone else has it 😁!
Tying in ends already!? I'm so proud of you!

Oh I know! 🥰 I was so pleased with myself 😁
I kept forgetting to fill it so I did have to set and alarm to remind me 😅 Gosh that's such a good service!
