Woops you ain't wrong hahah, guess I'll be seeing grey for a while 😅
I use Lakeside Needlecraft, I've found that the aida/hoop cost is decent compared to what else I've seen so always gone with them!
Haha, when I started making my own patterns from images, I use FlossCross.com which has the option to export as an fcjson, then I wrote a script to convert it into an Excel doc.
Excel is able to lookup cells by background colour, so I'd find cells with the thread index with the original colour (as in, not ones I've marked as green) in order to find remaining stitches per colour.
Obviously it's a bit clunky so I made ClickStitch!
Thank you for mentioning ClickStitch 🙏 I've been using it more often recently for actual stitching (and not developing the app!) and it's really handy to keep track of the stats!
I'm not a regular user of the other apps since I used to just use Excel to mark stitches as complete so these comments are interesting to see how everyone stitches haha
From a few days ago, I've been marking all the completed stitches as I go (using clickstitch.app) and came to around 16%!
Not currently, the idea is to upload a pattern based on the exported data from FlossCross or WinStitch (see here). It would be nice to upload PDFs though!
Heyo, another update for the project I've been working on.
ClickStitch is a webapp that allows you to track cross-stitching progress, manage your skein inventory and generally makes cross-stitching more efficient!
You can now select an individual thread to be highlighted! Other threads will be faded out so you can focus on the one you want to stitch.
Visit clickstitch.app to try it out!
Feedback on bugs and features is always welcome! ❤️
Thanks, let me know how it goes!
Hello everyone! I have another update to https://clickstitch.app that will aim to enhance how you manage your cross-stitch inventory.
The inventory page finally displays the colour of the thread! They are also searchable by their code or brand (currently DMC and Anchor threads are available):
!The inventory page, listing a few colourful skeins
However, the biggest change is the project page. Navigate to any project in your dashboard and the app will calculate how many skeins are required for it and warn you if you are missing any:
!A project will various threads that may be missing or not
Just make sure you have enough of the relevant skeins in your inventory and you're good to go!
Feedback on bugs and features is always welcome! ❤️
Thanks! And thanks for the feedback, defo something I need to think about since it's possibly quite involved. There is already a creator dashboard available so I've tried to make it as simple as possible, hopefully time will tell when/if people start using it!
Hmm, it's definitely up now and I've seen a few signups already. Give it a hard refresh and see if that works, if it persists give me a DM and we can troubleshoot
Sods law, the hosting provider I use is having a power cut in their datacentre, so all servers are down at the moment! Please try again tommorrow sorry!
