I cringe a bit about the team name now, I’m a sky blue from Coventry.

Tired but cannot sleep. Too tired to do anything other than try to sleep. Or doom scroll.

Never had the time to play, a mate had the game so was printing and painting models. I did enjoy it back in my youth, I had a team called Aston Killers.

Aren’t they assassinating their own character by saying this stuff?

I’ll hopefully do an initial release of my #CrossStitch pattern software at the weekend. The pattern export will be quite basic and I will need to add different stitch type support, like half stitch and back stitch etc. I’m quite happy with the palette quantisation and the editor panel though.

Two years ago my hyperfixation was 3D printing things for blood bowl. I only got to play it once.

I like this, the edge of the cloth becomes a nice feature.

I love the edging on this, how is it done? Mine are just fraying.

Flitting, not flirting. Can’t find an edit button 😩

Work in progress today. Been flirting between this and a bit of coding.

Morrisons is that weird supermarket from a slightly altered timeline where the air smells funny and everyone is forced to be happy or die.

So I have a #CrossStitch question. Say you have 18ct cloth, would you mix elements in 18ct stitches and 9ct stitches? Not sure if this would look ok or jarring. It would be on a bookmark.

Well this 3D print turned out bobbins.

Oh, it looks totally different now because I started from scratch again, the process flow wasn’t right on the previous version.

Here are some screenshots from the #CrossStitch pattern editor. One has a reference image, one has been quantised to the cross stitch pattern size with only DMC colours. The last shows it reduced to 32 colours. Tomorrow I will do some work on the pattern export.

Upper trays are finished! I have also been thinking about the pattern software whilst I have been forced to sit with my leg elevated, should have something to show at the weekend. Back to work tomorrow though! #CrossStitch #3DPrinting

He excitedly showed me technical drawings of the class 91 before they were in service. We sadly never made that train journey. Now I don’t have to mask, I have decided I AM going in that train ride. When I do I will raise a glass to my dad, and do it with the love of my life. 4/4
