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

I see what you mean, I think what you’re describing is pretty much what I used to do in Excel where you can search cells for a particular background colour and you could jump between them.

That’s an awesome suggestion, so I’ll definitely look into adding that!

Thanks I’ll check it out! I’ve seen a couple of mobile apps like this, but wanted to create something that was cross platform. The one you mentioned looks really cool though so I’ll definitely be taking a look!

I do the same! At the moment, you can see the completed/remaining per colour whilst stitching. There is an analytics page which needs some love, so having pie charts per colour is a great idea, thanks!
