With the big project finished, I embarked on something smaller a month ago...but I put it on hold. Now I'm at it again.

The grid is one square off on one column so the whole thing is off. Any better ways to make an accurate grid? I know pre-gridded is a thing but I have a couple of meters of that plain 14ct fabric that I want to use up.

How has your week been, did you work on anything exciting?

Woohoo! Nailed it! There's a little toy alpaca in front of me now wearing one of those colourful blanket things, and I guess it was 50/50 alpaca/llama from there ๐Ÿ˜†

Please don't feel like I'm shilling videos btw, it's just often my only time for crafts in a given week overlaps with that stuff so it's just naturally what I talk about. Anyway if you do try embroidery I can say, make sure your needle is big enough to pull all the strands through comfortably because OW MY FINGERS. That's my #1 tip so far lol.
