Disclaimer: None of these lists are comprehensive. They are an ever-evolving passion project of mine that serve simply to give back to the cross stitch community in some small way.
A list of some of the Fun Challenges available out there. I struggle with group participation events due to social anxiety. There are some fun South African Themed ones I've made up myself.
Just some Fun Free Stuff I've made to share with the community.
A list of resources for South Africans, from shops around the country to Designers on Etsy. (Let me know if there are any I've missed)
I recently found Trish - The Left-Handed Stitchers Blog. There is a full list of Cross Stitch Tags on there from 2015 through to 2017. I have a nasty habit of finding things on the web and then losing them. So I have collected all the Tags I could find and put them here for safe keeping.
I mainly stitch Full Coverage, or close to it. So these are mostly Full Coverage Flosstubers. The list was too big to have on this page too, so its over on its own dedicated page.
I don't have access to the new DMC colours 1-100 and 3880-3900. The online ThreadBare conversion system has helped me on so many projects.
Lord Libidan has been a valuable source of information for me over the last 5 years that I have been expanding my cross stitch knowledge. Despite having stitched for 25+ years, I am constantly learning new things and being challenged by the ever-changing landscape that is the International Cross Stitch community.
If you're looking for a conversion for skin tone for more diversity in your stitching, check out Lord Libidan's Skin Tone Guide. And to go with that conversion, check out the Lord Libidan's Hair Colour Guide. Both provide the main colour, plus highlight and shadow colour for that necessary dimension.
While you're over there, definitely download the Lord Libidan DMC Thread Inventory Spreadsheet. It is the only one I have found that has the actual colour, in number order, in an editable format so I can easily keep track of what skeins I still need to get to complete my set, and how many I have accidentally over-purchased because I "liked the colour" when I was at my local craft store.
