Michelle / The Giddy StitcherJan 17, 2025

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 šŸ˜‚

@thegiddystitcher Where can I learn more about #24HoursOfCrossStitch ? This is the only post I see in the tag, unfortunately! But it sounds relevant to my interests šŸ¤”

@yomimono There are usually a small handful of us on here but maybe it's just me today!

The official event is over on FB, but essentially it's just trying to stitch for 24 hours between Friday and Sunday and it runs 4 times a year.

There's a few of us going for it in my Discord server, but I generally try to avoid mentioning that part because it seems like shilling šŸ˜…

@thegiddystitcher 24 hours in 3 days is so much! People must really have their ergonomics down. I think I could only do it if design time counts, otherwise Iā€™d be setting myself up for a bad time the whole next week.

@yomimono Yes in my experience the full reality of the undertaking usually hits sometime early on Saturday and you definitely question your own sanity.

But I'm ahead of where I usually am for this time on a Friday, so maybe it'll all be different! :D
