The dark queen edit was 👩🏻🍳 💋 😂😂😂 ilysm
Thank you for a great video vlog, I really appreciated the floss conversion I may be able to try one myself now!!😊
Loves this format ! Really happy to see your video pop in my feed everytime ! 🎉
LOVE the transitions 😂❤
The nat 20!!!!!! Impeccable timing.
I loved this video, especially watching you do the color conversion and how you start! Thank you for that because I’m always so afraid if I use a different color floss I’ll mess things up! Love seeing your progress on all your projects and your honesty when you feel you are “done”….. so refreshing. ❤❤❤
Super informative! Thank you for sharing this with us ❤😊
This was soooooo interesting. Thanks for your conversion expertise. I love how you are doing "All are Equal in Death!"
Hi Cam! I just love your Flosstober videos and your explanation on how you do your awesome colour converting was very helpful. Thanks so much for sharing. Looking forward to week 3 👻🕸🍁
The video was so helpful, thank. I enjoy all your videos!
Loving all the updates and the transitions 😂😂 and even a surprise little strawberry boy!! 🍓❤
Those transitions made my night! 😂 🫶
Thank you so much for this series. It was very generous of you to share your colour conversion method. Much appreciated! X
Girl!!! You are getting so much done on all your projects!!! Can I even tell you how much I am enjoying this format? And how neat it was to see you do an actual color conversion in person?? Just amazing, all of it. You have so many neat projects that I have not seen before, and I was excited to learn about the 20 count Aida by Fiber On A Whim. They are one of my favorite dyers, so now I will have to check out their Aida, too. 😂 Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for doing this, I just love it all, and that’s the truth! Please take good care of yourself, so you don’t get sick and burn out. My two cents? As time goes on, our tastes and interests change…don’t be too hard on yourself about Dark Queen…whatever you decide will be the right thing for YOU! ☺️ Until next time, Happy Stitching!

PS. - you have a really nice singing voice!! 🎶🎤
Thank you so much!!! And you are so right, I think I’ve decided to finish the dark queen as is 😅
I love to see your thought process on stitching. It sure represents the way I think about it. Don’t we all….have that pattern we have invested lots of time…but don’t want to work on it. Great stitches ❤
just reiterating how much i love this format-it's a lot of fun watching your progress on so many different things during the week! i am an atom heart convert thanks to brijin's video and they are absolutely worth it even if they're expensive. i use the bobbins for my dmc and any of my fancy floss goes on the heart ones, just so i can pick them out at a glance. meanwhile, i have started gridding everything with sulky sliver because i am HOPELESS at getting the piece placed correctly even if i measure and re-measure. and because i'm completely extra, i grid the center axis in red and then i go back and do the actual grid in blue. it's been worth the timesuck for me because i don't have to spend time frogging nearly as much as i did before.
I love that! I’m a big believer in prepping everything that makes stitching on the project more comfortable ahead of starting. so you can just pick it up and stitch and turn your brain off 😊
Thank you for your videos! Love seeing you work through your whips and making decisions as you go about what you want to work on without apologies.
🖤 thoroughly enjoyed this as per usual 🤭🫶🏻✨
❤❤ your progress and projects - maybe hide dark queen of the earth for a bit an revisit her in the new year to see if you still want her. Your stitching is beautiful and I absolutely love seeing Raggedy Ann and Andy in the background 😂❤❤
That's a good plan! ☺️
I got some Mothman from Garon, too! Such a pretty linen. I'm stitching Halloween at Hollyberry Farm on it. Love your videos!❤❤
Loved seeing your conversion method in real time! Thank you for the hints and tips.
Also can’t wait for wilding hill manor to be available in the UK! X
For every roll I yell ... come on 20!!!!!!! ;)
Cam, hi your so entertaining love these videos. Your stitching is great and color conversion section was oh so helpful!. Thank you 💜
Oh thank you! ☺️
Was looking forward to this video all week!!!
I also am thinking about Christmas. It’s going to be here before you know it tbh!!
Amazing progress, as usual and thanks for letting us in on your conversion process ❤
Loved this video - thanks for the colour conversion info!! Super helpful.
Also - I totally think you should call your Dark Queen piece finished whenever you are ready. Finish it in a way that you are happy with and feel even happier moving on from it!!
I totally think I’m going to look for an oval frame and put her in it as a finish 😂
Such a fun video! 🤩
Thank you!!
Loving watching your October!! I've been watching Jen's Fibrearts too and you are both making me want to stitch lots of spooky stuff 👻🧙🧟♀️
Yay! Thank you!
Thanks Cam. Fun video with the dice. Hope you feel better b now. All your stitches are so pretty.
Thank you so much! ☺️
99.9% of my charts are color conversions of some degree. Usually it's just substituting some DMC since I don't have a master stash but I've gotten enough fancy floss to start substituting some key colors for a bit of pop in my patterns.
Another great resource for people doing DMC to DMC substitutes is Thread Bare. Their website has a closest DMC table under Tools and Calculators. You plug in a DMC color and it will give you all the DMC options it considers close substitutes. It's not perfect but it's a great starting point if you are missing a few pattern colors.
I also finally splurged on a floss DMC color chart and it makes a world of difference. I use floss bags so it's a hassle going through the collection but now I can use the DMC table, the chart, and various fancy floss conversion tables (primarily I use the ones on 123stitch) to make my conversions at my desk instead of spread across my whole craft room.
Oh, and the notion app. Stitchy Nati has a Stitchery Notion template on their gumroad that's amazing! And I think she has a youtube video showing how to use it for people new to the program. I have all my fancy floss with photos entered into it. I have a second computer monitor that I can pull it up on instead of pulling out those flosses or finding a photo on a retailer site. It also has a place for color conversions on the project pages. For some reason I am awful at keeping up with written project trackers but every few months I spend a day updating my notion. Luckily, I don't finish enough that I can't figure out what I converted 😂
Love how you do your color conversions was super helpful to see you do it live. Only back to stitching a year now and so much has changed since 30 years ago, lol. I am making a master set with atom heart as well, since it takes awhile to cut do the floss etc I get a bag of 100 once every three months or so, makes it affordable that way. Happy stitching
Yes that’s an awesome way to do it! It was no joke having to wind and label and floss drop all of them at once 😂
Thanks for sharing your conversion process. I don't have a full DMC collection yet but I use the tread book in the same way when swapping out to over dyes. Love the format of this video! It was awesome to see your progress
totally forgot to mention a thread book! those are great tools too ☺️
@@camthestitcher Also, I love your goth conversion! I am going to be using it to stitch BOF Sally Spencer. I'll be sure to share it with you when I get started 🤗
Hi Cam! Im a thread licker too!❤😂
I love watching your colour conversion. You have helped me. I now think I can change a color on pattern I been putting of stitching. Thank you
I'm so glad to hear that!
❤❤❤ let me tell you! The struggle, is real ! So relatable when the queen of the earth came up and you didn’t want to Stitch on it glad you rolled again. Every single time you talk about DND makes me think about this Heaven And Earth design that I started. Haven’t touch in years. 😅 it’s called: 20 sided diced fairy. I did not know that you could sing 🫶🏽 thank you for your clear explanations about how you do your color conversions and by the way, my boyfriend liked the Magnus achieves podcast that you suggested. Thank For the time that you put into your video 🙏🏽🎉🤗
Haha thank you! ☺️
It was fun seeing your color conversion process!
Also, glad you like the pink menagerie…it’s been sitting in a pile on my desk totally finished, but out of sight and kinda forgotten, for weeks now!! Remembered it this week and very excited to get it ffo’d now that it’s top of mind
yes!!! I can’t wait to stitch it 💞
Love this format
Im new here and i love your videos. And you talking about christmas like yes i feel you i woke up this morning and started looking at christmas cross stitch patterns and kits oups
I appreciate this discussion because I struggle with it. My floss is stored in floss away bags so I can’t easily see the color clearly. I should buy one of those DMC books that have floss samples when I find it. Thanks again Cam!
Yes those books are so helpful! ☺️
I'm obsessed with you❤
42:23 I would have made whatever I didn’t want to work on as the Crit Fail and used my Lucky Feat to re-roll haha
Very fun idea to use the D20!
hahahaha yess, that would have been a great idea 😂
❤❤❤
First comment! ❤❤❤
Love you 🥰
Love you 🥰

I love atom heart floss chips. They are expensive but I’ve just been getting them a project at a time as I have the money.
That’s definitely a great way to do it! they are amazing
I dont know if it’s a dumb question, but why make a color conversion when you have all the dmc colors? I’m new to cross stitch, so I dont know anything 😂 Anyway, this was a really informative and enjoyable episode 😊
It depends! So for the project in this video, i wanted to use some overdyed flosses instead of all dmc’s. Overdyed flosses have verigation in the color so you get a different effect stitching with them. Another reason is maybe I don’t like the called for colors, so I’ll replace them with different dmc’s to make it more for me ☺️
@@camthestitcher Thank you for explaining 😊 I’ll have to check out the overdyed colors!
I need advice on how do you find time to stitch so much?
Short answer: No kids, I’m a homebody, my partner plays video games while I stitch and it’s just an activity I love to do a lot and I make time for it. I will also say I stitch while I watch tv, listen to audiobooks or podcasts. I’m definitely a multi-tasker. I also work from home and my partner and I do an equal amount of housework which is a big help so we both have time for each other and our hobbies ☺️
