Hello All

I am new to this forum and I look forward to exploring it and sharing with you all.

My wife calls me Wolfie as I may be a little obsessed with wolves, and that being one thing I like to cross stitch, as well as fantasy style, and geisha's.

I have been doing cross stitch on and off for many years ever since my father introduced me to the craft when I was a wee teen.

I have become more interested in recent years and taking on more challenges. I love to work on detailed cross stitches, my most ambitious project is 32 count kit of a wolf laying down in the snow, approximately 40 x 30cm.

I also have at least another 2/3 smaller kits on the go. Nice portable projects.

I look forward to getting to know you all, best regards.

All the best and Kind Regards,

Wolfie

Welcome to the forum Wolfie. It's a good place to learn and expand your range of experience.

I came a few years ago seeking, well, I didn't know what, just felt that there must be more to stitching than 14ct Aida and a maximum of 32 colours. And wow, did I find it... I'm currently on projects with 156 thread colours and using mostly blended colours to get a more even graduation of colours. None of which I could even guess at before I came here. The opportunities to learn are almost limitless.

So, welcome & hope you bide a wee to teach us, as well as see if there is something you might wish to learn.

Regards

Richard.

Thank you everyone for your kind welcome.

I look forward to learning some new things and develop my stitching skills.

I look forward to uploading some of my work as I make progress, last night I was working on a dimensions kit of a geisha. Making steady progress on it and will likely finish it in a few weeks. :D assuming i dont get distracted.

Once Ive got to grips with how to post some pics, ill upload some of my current work for you all to see. :)

Hopefully folk will be able to follow this link to my picture. Current progress on my long term project, 32 count cross stitch of a fantasy wolf with wings laying down in snow.

Cheers
