Right now, I'm looking for a software that could replace excel. That's right, I'm making patterns with Excel. Anyone heard anything about a free (or low-cost) MAC cross stitch software ? I'll be browsing the forum to see if anyone has anything on this.

I browsed through this site and found these two links that may help you!

Hi! I'm Kevin from Parma Heights, Ohio. I've only started stitching a few months ago, but I have plenty of ideas for projects that I hope to show in the future, and I like seeing all of the great work that others have done too!

Hi, ya'll. I'm MamaJMarie, or just J. I'm a gamer, my husband is a gamer, we have three kids who are all fasinated with video games (oldest is turning 5, wants to be Zelda, next is 2-going-on-3 also wants to be Zelda +/or Samus, and our youngest is 6 1/2 mts and he likes all the pretty colors). I stumbled on this wonderful site while I was looking for a patternof Link for plastic canvas (edited one for regular cross-stitch, will post picture when done!) for a Legend of Zelda themed jewelry box for my oldest for her b'day. I don't do regular cross-stitch, but I do plastic canvas and a lot of other 3-D type crafts, making custom toys and costumes and goodies for my houseful of gamer-nerds. Absolutely thrilled to find people with similer intrests!!!

Hi there, I'm Jaye

What a wonderful site, I actually found my way here by accident, I'm glad I did ...anyway, I have been a sporadic knitter for a few years and really a noobie at cross-stitching but I really want to broaden my knowledge in crafts. In the last months I have made two scarfs, two hats, a bookmark and in the middle of making a second bookmark.

Points of interest with the kids are Pokemon - I have my work cut out for all 150 Dennis the menace (UK) and I'm hoping lots of Hello kitty and Pucca

Oh, if the cross stitching goes okay, I might invest in some program like Stitch Pro for the Mac, if there is a free one then that would be great, if not then I'll hold out till I get more experienced.

I'm Dani, and I'm a lady, and I'm from Nebraskaaaaa! I like cute animals and making things, such as cookies, cupcakes, paintings, hats and pillows. My job right now is full-time student, working toward a BS in Chemical Engineering. I found Spritestitch via Craftster, and I'm getting super excited to start the LTTP map that was posted in the Patterns board.

Hi, I'm Nina from Marion, IN and I got into cross stitching a few years ago. I've recently gotten into perler beads as well and I love it. I found this site and got inspired to do game related crafts. I love all the work I see. I've been a gamer since I was 9 and doing crafts based on video games is so addicting! It's so therapeutic to make something and the sense of accomplishment you get out of it.

I'm Megan. I'm a geek.

I knit, sew, crochet and cross-stitch. I generally make more stuff based on geeky TV shows, movies, culture and science than video games. But it does happen sometimes.

I'm currently working on a Rickroll knitted scarf, a cross stitch of an xkcd comic and a crocheted blanket made to look like the seal of Rassilon.But when I finish my current cross-stitch I plan to start cross-stitching the nethack commands.
