- I recorded this last year, but for some reason I was a bit hesitant to upload it. Here I am uploading this video! These WIPs are the projects that I stitched on for 2023. If you have any questions regarding my cross stitch projects, feel free to ask. Thanks for stopping by and watching!
Welcome to Flosstube.
My first flosstuber was Stitchin' Jules as well 😂 Boy, this opened up a never ending rabbit hole.
I like the idea of not looking at the picture once you start stitching. It's like a mystery stitch 😂
Happy stitching ❤
Jules is awesome to watch. She had so many projects and I remember always tuning in to see the updates. That's kind of what inspired me to start stitching.
I love being surprised when stitching. I discovered that it really only works for full coverages.
Belated welcome to FlossTube, Yoshi. Good job with your first video. I am looking forward to future content from your channel but would encourage you to consider showing the cover photo of the finished product. It's helpful in giving us (at least me) context of where you are in the project and the eventual goal - what it will look like at completion. I hope that makes sense.
The first time I saw a man cross stitching was about 20 years ago at an Astros game. He brought his project with him to the game and stitched whenever there was not excitement on the field. Back then, that was most of the game! I learned from him that you can take your stitching with you pretty much anywhere you go and to have the courage to let my stitchy flag fly!
Tell me about the Astros lol. I know all about their dry streak. It's so refreshing to see them winning. I do want to incorporate some smaller projects down the road. Might have a piece dedicated to the car.
Welcome to Flosstube!
Thank you for sharing Yoshi. You sure do have some huge projects happening. I look forward to following you on your journey!
Thank you for joining the ride. A lot of progress and new projects have been added since this video was created. I cannot wait to do a comparison on my projects at the end of this year.
Facebook recommended this video for me and I am 10 min in and already subscribed. It is very rare I like someone immediately, but with you I did. I love your method os stitching that is almost exactly like me, I start at the top left and work my way towards the top right and then downwards. And never do a stitch unless the stitches above are done. I use that method on both FC and non Fc projects. I also love that you don’t want to see the cover photo more than once and instead see the project come to life ❤❤❤ Your world of Disney IV if that is from Zanna, I can sayher charts have amazing details I am doing 5 Disney Princesses by her and the details are superb, so ai think if you just get 20-30 rows down so you start getting details you will love that project 😊 looking forward to follow your stitchy journey.
Nice to know that FB recommended me.
I use my method because it keeps the back looking nice and there are no grid lines showing. I do find it to be a slow method, but I am in no hurry. I don't necessarily use the same method on my non full coverage pieces. It will vary based off of the piece I'm working on.
World of Disney IV is from Zanna. I know that once I can make it out of the frame portion that it will start to come together. I have seen some pictures from other stitchers.
What are the 5 Disney princesses that you are doing? Is it an individual piece with a princess on it or one piece with 5 princesses?
@TheCrossStitchGuy I have very much the same reason for using a similar method to yours.
5 Disney Princesses is also from zanna and it is 1 massive projects that has 5 of the Disney Princesses (Cinderella, Bell, Rapunzel, Snow white and Ariel) I am on Instagram as Rita Marie's stitching adventure. It might be a lot easier to see the Cover photo there than me explaining 😅
You’re from Texas!?!?! Love this I don’t know why I haven’t clicked back on you before! I’m watching alllllll these today
I love how you started stitching and just went straight to full coverages when that’s something to me as a long term stitcher that’s just so intimidating
@@Peggys_still_stitching I jumped right into a big piece too with blended threads. Not sure what I was thinking, but I felt like I watched enough floss tube at that time to attempt one.
Congrats on your wip parade. One tip, I would have showed what the completed project looks like. Welcome to the community. Hope to see more of you soon.
Howww am I just now discovering your channel?? 😂 I was going to mention check out my wip parade when you said how much you love them, then you mentioned mine! Yay! Then you started listing off all the people I was going to mention you should check out 😂 if you haven’t watched stitching mommy, she does a lot of golden kite pieces! And also felt very called out about the 300 projects 🤣🤣🤣 I like the way you are stitching your pieces, kind of like….almost like an isosceles triangle 😆 it’s really neat! At first I was thrown off by the not showing the cover photo, but I’m kind of digging it, it will be interesting to see how the pieces develop! Welcome to the flosstube community!
Did I see your 5 part video about your 2024 plans? Yes, yes I did! Did I discreetly call you? You betcha! Am I jealous that you have that many WIPs? 100%
I stitch all my full coverages like that from top left (if looking at the piece) to right and I work my way down.
I love your videos and enjoy tuning in weekly to see what you have completed.
@@TheCrossStitchGuy 🤣🤣🤣 well in my defense I started ZERO new ones last year, so I’m making up for it now 🤪 also, I’m watching you slowly creep up your wip count, you’re gonna be right there with em before you know it 😂
@@jennthecaffeinatedcrafter5679 I don't know how you managed to go a whole year with no new starts. Seems like torture to me 🤣My WIP count is increasing!
I think you would enjoy Chris Cross Stitcher. As a male stitcher I’m excited for you! Hang in there ❤
I've seen his videos. He's a great story teller and very interesting to listen to. His voice is very soothing.
Congrats on your first flosstube! I loved seeing all of your full coverage projects! Tip: I would have loved to have seen the cover images of what your full coverage projects were going to look like once finished but you’ve done amazing progress!
Hi from South Australia
Just found you. I love when i find a male flosstuber I always watch haha glad I did.I love that you view the journey of the piece and not focusing on the what it will be. Lovely stitching.
Hi Yoshi. I wouldn’t ordinarily watch a video that doesn’t show what the project looks like when completed but I think I am quite looking forward to seeing them emerge as you stitch them. Lots of updates please.
Welcome to Flosstube! Looking forward to seeing your progress on all those big projects 😊
A couple male cross stitchers you might want to check out are Chrisxrossstitch, The RunnerStitcher, and Yass Stitch. I love to watch them all. Glad you decided to post and can't wait to see your progress.
Thanks for this! I actually have seen a few videos from these stitchers minus Yass Stitch. I will definitely check out Yass Stitch.
Love the large designs! Good on you! Can't finish what you never start! Keep up the good work
Welcome!! Great first video! I completely understand you not wanting to look at your cross stitch pictures because I do that with jigsaw puzzles. I glance at the box just enough to decide I want to put it together, then I hide the box top from myself until it's finished. It's more fun for me to see it come to life and be surprised at the result. It'll be fun to see your projects develop along with you!
I do the same exact thing to my jigsaw puzzles. I look at the box only to decided if I want to purchase it so I can put it together. I love Ravensburger! I got a really cool 2000 piece halloween puzzle from them that I absolutely love. I'm dying to do one of the really big puzzles, but I got no room to do so.
@@TheCrossStitchGuy I've had the 24,000 piece puzzle for years and never lived in a place big enough! (or the time) LOL One day. sigh
Your enthusiasm & joy show. So glad you found the Flosstube community & decided to share your stitchy goodness with us! I'm off to google golden kite now.
Love how you choose to enjoy your needlework! So glad the Running Stitcher recommended you! Look forward to your progress!
Thanks for stopping by and checking out my channel!
Love that you stitch golden kite patterns can’t wait to see your progress ❣️
Do you work on Golden Kite patterns as well?
I like the idea of not referring back to the image. I'm watching a friend work on that map. Hats off to you. My largest project is 380k stitches.
Congrats to your friend for taking that challenge! Which project are you working on that is 380k stitches?
Very neat stitching 😊
Welcome to flosstube 🎉🎉🎉🎉 fantastic WIPs. Look forward to seeing updates ❤
Really enjoyed your first floss tube, Love a Full Coverage WIP parade. You really must introduce your little furry friend that hangs out in the back ground. So cute
Wow great video and such big projects! I am a slow stitcher as well, and like you said it’s about the fun 😊 no pressure. great work.
Welcome to the community! I’m a Houston stitcher too! Really enjoyed your WIP parade. The mystery makes it fun.
Houston represent! It's nice to have some locals in here.
Love your joy in stitching. Amazed at you going for all the massive projects. Please tell us what fabric you are using, how many threads over and full cross or tent stitch. Also Please introduce your stitching companions. Looking forward to your progress. 😊🐾
Welcome to flosstube! Looking forward to seeing your progress. ~ elisa
Yay for Yoshi!
Great projects. Thank you for sharing.
enjoyed your video! welcome to the video making side of flosstube! I can't wait to see your progress on your wips!
Congratulations on getting your first flosstube filmed and posted! 🎉
Hi, I don't cross stitch anymore, I have too many creative hobbies😂. My husband started cross stitching as a way of managing his anxiety and it really helped him.
What are your other creative hobbies and what WIPs is your husband working on?
@@TheCrossStitchGuy My hobbies include crochet, zentangle, mixed media art ... I'm trying to get back into sewing, just started a slow stitch project. My husband doesn't cross stitch anymore as his anxiety is a lit better.
@@anne-mariesmith2007 I know exactly what Zentangles are! You have quite a few hobbies.
H-Town! I too am from the Houston area. Welcome to the Flosstube community. I love the idea of not knowing/remembering the final image and to see it come together. I don't think I could do that myself, but I am looking forward to watching your journey and seeing the project unfold with you. Great video.
Nice to know of a fellow stitcher from Houston I hope you are getting a ton of stitching done during this cold weather.
What a wonderful first video and WIP parade!
I’m looking forward to seeing your progress on all of your beautiful projects!
Hi. And welcome... I'm in Houston also..
Yay a fellow Houstonian!
I love your methodology! Seeing the piece develop probably helps keeps the joy in the journey vs at the destination.
I honestly don’t mind if you don’t show the finished design-I just crave the links to patterns/designers in the description
Thanks for joining flosstube-I can’t wait to see more updates from you in the future 🙌🏻
I find that it does help the journey to some degree. If you need help finding links to any of the patterns, let me know and I can assist you.
Looking forward to your progress on your projects. I totally get why you don't want to see the cover images. Don't think I could do that though! Great job!
Hello Yoshi, I just stumbled across your channel. Welcome to Flosstube. I loved your video, so I'll just check out your other ones. Wow, your projects will be beautiful, can't wait to see your progress 😀
Welcome
Wow love seeing people stitch on absolute bedsheets! Your WIPS are enormous and amazing! Take care, Nic in NZ. PS I think I found you via Andrew The Runner Stitcher
I found your flosstube from my friend in Australia and I’m from Houston, TX. Small world! I live in KY now.
How long have you been living in Kentucky? I love Houston!
@@TheCrossStitchGuy we moved in January of 2018. I spent 31 years in Houston and I miss the food so much but I love having 4 seasons now versus summer 1, summer 2, summer 3, winter 😂
Awesome projects.
Loved watching your first episode. Your stitching is amazing! I recently fell down the rabbit hole of Heaven and Earth Designs. I currently am working on 3 of them, 2 stockings and the SAL they're doing. Loved seeing what you're working on and look forward to watching you. You did great!
Heaven and Earth Designs is not a bad hole to fall down into. I wanted to participate in the SAL, but opted out of it since I need to commit time to my WIPs.
Thanks for sharing all your full coverage projects. I enjoy full coverage stitching as well. What fabric do you stitch on? I stitch mine on Aida. Where do you get such big cuts of fabric? Do you stitch in hand or hoops? Q-Snaps? I look forward to watching your progress on your pieces. Happy stitching!
I stitch predominately on Aida 14ct in a Q snap. If you check on Amazon they sell Aida that comes in 59 in x 39 in. If you know of a place that sells bigger cuts please share!
You have some cool projects there! Kudos from another male stitcher. I’d love to start doing Flosstubes but I am nervous about doing it. Maybe 2024 will be the year I try it. Look forward to more of your videos. Kevin
Definitely give it a go. If you find that it's not for you then that's fine. However, I would love to see your projects that you're working on.
@@TheCrossStitchGuythanks Yoshi! Do you just videotape yours with your phone or special equipment?
@@KT-sq2mlI just use my phone. I'm happy with the quality that it is capturing.
Hi and congratulations on your first flosstube! I really enjoyed seeing all your huge projects. I would like to know what fabric you stitch on? Hope you will continue to make videos.
You should watch TheRunnerStitcher
He's my friend! We are actually doing a SAL together called FirstMiraSal. Feel free to join if you would like to.
Great projects and progress. One stitch at a time. Are you stitching full cross or half stitch? What fabric count?
Definitely one stitch at a time. That's what I keep telling myself. I stitch full cross mostly on 14 ct. I have started to mix it up recently, but I do love 14 ct.
Kompliment für diese ambitionierte Projekte, Running Sticher recoment dein Kanal. Nett dich gefunden zu haben. Please Go on 👍
Thanks for checking out my channel, much appreciated!
I loved your WIP parade! I love full coverage. Do you work across the entire width of the pattern first?
First of all I just want to say that I love your videos!
I start on the upper left and work my way across. If I can make it all the way across great, but most of the time I normally do not. Basically, I will not work a stitch on the bottom rows unless all the stitches above have been worked. The reason for this is because I love a neat back where my threads are all securely held down.
😊
