Almost forgot to post my final #24hocs update from this weekend. I mean, imagine! 😱

So. 24 hours got me 1909 stitches, which is pretty tragic but this pattern is very bitty. Half of the A and a good start on the M, after over three years of zero progress I will take it!

We had quite a few 24h finishers, others who achieved their own smaller goals, and as ever a group of rebels doing 24 hours of...

- Coat Sewing
- Coastal Sunshine
- Crazily Spinning
- Caring (for) Snakes

This pic kind of hurts to look at, so imagine stitching on it all weekend and feel my pain 😅

In progress cross stitch project on extremely royal blue fabric. It's spelling the word "gamer" in capitals, except only the G, A and a chunk of the first leg of the M are complete. Each letter is a collage of game characters through the ages, although without backstitching it currently just looks like a random jumble of colours in parts.

Stopping point for day 2, finished the A minus a couple of missing colours and moved on to the first leg of the M.

Will try and get to the floss shop in the morning because those gaps are too annoying and I need to fill them in asap!

18.5 hours down, which is by far my best ever result by the end of day two. But maybe it's less "cool" and more "indicative that I truly have no life at all outside of crafting", hmm 🤔

Cross stitch project that will eventually spell GAMER, with each letter a collage of retro gaming characters, stitched on royal blue fabric. The G and part of the A have been rolled up to the side of the frame and the first leg of the M, featuring Ms. Pac-Man, is the current focus.

Absolutely no idea how I got from "let's stitch something easy with no thinking required this weekend" as of last night, to digging out this old (somewhat hated) project as my #24hocs plan, but here we are.

This is my starting point on the Gamer SAL from PixStitch that was a charity thing from 2021, honestly not sure if it's still available or not but it's pretty cool.

Spent the first of my 24 hours just prepping, getting it into the frame, manually adding 90-odd colours to Pattern Keeper. And then started hour two by doing 4 stitches then immediately frogging them.

This bodes well 🙃

In progress cross stitch piece on very crumpled, royal blue aida fabric. It's currently a large letter G made up of a collage of pixel art retro gaming characters, and a letter A that is about half done. Eventually it'll read GAMER.
Close-up on the letter A, the project is now secure in its frame and the fabric nice and smooth. The characters in the left leg of the A are black and white to represent the Game Boy era, while the rest is a riot of colour that will be much more defined once I get round to backstitching it.

Once again, somehow, it's 24 Hours of Cross Stitch this weekend. Feels like about five minutes since the last one and I'm exhausted before we even start, but then my sense of time has never exactly been great.

My plan was to try a stamped kit for the first time, since a friend recently destashed one at me. But I opened it just now to take a photo and it turns out to not be stamped at all!

Back to the drawing board, I'm sure I can find something else to keep me occupied all weekend 🤦‍♀️

On the left, the pattern image which is a dark tree silhouetted against a sky blazing in blue and orange. And then in the middle, some blank white aida fabric that definitely has no pattern printed on it.

Ok, back to life and time for the usual post-#24hocs stat update.

This ended up being 3369 stitches over the three days, 42.9% completion. I would've sworn I was at least halfway!

We had some more finishers overnight, and also quite a few who made it to around the 20 hour mark and / or actually finished projects which is always very nice to see.

Our unofficial rule is that this is just a bit of fun so if you can make it fit the acronym it totally counts towards your time. This round we had people doing 24 Hours of:

- Craft Staring
- Cardio Swimming
- Creating Spreadsheets
- Constructing Swedishness
- Chatting (to) Stitchers
- Cat Shenanigans

And a few decided to let themselves have today to try and get the full hours in too, so I'll be off to cheer them on some more now 😁

Fun weekend!

24 Whole Hours of Cross Stitch!

This final update gets its own non-threaded post, because turns out Pixelfed is a bit buggy with showing threaded ones and EVERYONE needs to know I did TWENTY FOUR hours of cross stitch this weekend 😂

Finished the marathon over three hours earlier than I ever have before, too. Sadly couldn't get even close to a finish, especially after yesterday's frogging sesh, but such is life.

Now to put this down for at least a week while I recover, hooray! Not sure what to do with the rest of my night, cheer everyone else on I suppose.

Go go go! 💪

(once more this is "Beachfront Home" by @infinitybear and is very cute indeed)

Halfway complete cross stitch piece in which two crabs, looking very pleased with themselves somehow, are planting a flag atop their impressive sandcastle. Most of the sand and sky is yet to be filled in, but the interesting parts are done. This took me twenty four hours of solid stitching!

For the first time ever, I've actually managed a full 8 hours stitching on the first day of #24hocs. It's a miracle!

We also did some video chatting and whatnot and I accidentally knocked my laptop off a precarious tower of empty chocolate boxes, so it's been an eventful day.

Let's see if I can keep up the energy tomorrow!

(pattern is Beachfront Home by @infinitybear, and apologies for the nighttime lighting)

In progress cross stitch project on plain white fabric. There's a sandcastle in the middle, with the rough outline of two pink crabs on top of it. It's not yet clear what they're up to, but they do have a flag.

Starting point for 24 Hours of Cross Stitch, yep it's a brand new start! Yesterday's sensible plan got scrapped already, haha.

Missing five of the called-for colours so may need to nip to the shops later, currently undecided whether I'll cheat and count shopping time in with the 24, depends how far behind I am.

I've committed to doing at least one video call to kick off the celebrations later today, and we have a friend attempting a 24 hour stream from 9pm UK time tonight which seems like madness to me but just goes to show the #24hocs hype is real 😂

Tomorrow kicks off the first 24 Hours of Cross Stitch weekend in 2025! Who's in for this round?

I was all sensible and prepared, or so I thought, but my floss order is stuck in limbo so now I need to pivot.

Thinking I'll maybe break out a full coverage from hibernation and see what 24 hours of progress can do, so I've just been ferreting around to find all the colours for that. Forgot how satisfying it is seeing them all laid out!

Of course now @infinitybear has gone and announced a sale so maybe this plan will change again, if I can actually get my credit card working before the sale ends. We'll have to see what fate has in store 🤔

Closeup photo of a selection of embroidery flosses lying flat on a wooden table. They're attached to floss drops in long lengths, but the drops are out of frame so it's just an autumnal rainbow of flosses, from neutrals to reds and oranges and greens and back to more neutrals, running the whole length of the pic.
