💙 You’re very welcome and you totally can do this! Once you master your vertical double half hitch knot it’s easy peasy…I do recommend starting with a smaller pixel pattern though. Good luck! 🤗💙
I can’t wait to try this! I did counted cross stitch for years so this all makes sense to me and for the past year I’ve taken up macrame again, I did a lot in the 70’s. Just a heads up there are 2 pixel arts, I downloaded the wrong one ( darn it) but now have the correct one. The wrong one requires a subscription so now I must remember to cancel after the 7 day free trial. 😀 thanks so much for sharing this.
💙 Yes it’s totally just like a cross stitch pattern! I love cross stitch as well…tho it’s been awhile since I’ve done one These types of patterns are also called “alpha patterns” as well and you can find many already created on Pinterest too (if you aren’t down to making your own). Just be careful of copyright infringement. Some creators don’t like others using their images And I’m sorry, I didn’t realize there was two apps named PixelArt. I downloaded mine quite a long time ago 😅
Thank you so much ...would love to make one ..having problems making the picture part..wondering if you would do a tutorial of how to use the app . Just a thought . Would love to beagle to use one of my own pictures
💙 you’re in luck!! I do have a tutorial on how I use the free app! The only difference for you is that you’ll want to choose the import picture option and then edit over top of it to suit your needs. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/UoxEH31C9Y0/v-deo.htmlsi=LNpg3pIf4t2Aw2zL
This is amazing! I want to do a picture of my daughter's dog but I feel like I am missing something. When I print my pic at 44 stitches I am not getting that cute pattern you have of Bailey. Please help. I used the stitch app not the website you shared and her dog is black and white so I was going for a blue background.
💙 Hmm if you are using the same app (PixelArt) as I’m, you will need to take a screenshot of your pattern in order to keep those grid lines. Check out my other tutorial on creating your own Pixel pattern here: ua-cam.com/video/UoxEH31C9Y0/v-deo.html hopefully it helps 🤗💙
💙 it really depends on the size of rope. I’ve done this a few times so I just know 22 3.35mm single strand cords fit across a 12 inch wooden dowel….however when I do custom pieces I will attach the larks head knots on first then adjust my pattern to fit that measurement
Thank you so much for sharing your talent. I have a a couple questions regarding material and procedure. You used t-shirt yarn or the type of yarn you used here in the tutorials that I have watched. Do you always use this type of material for colors? Do you ever use the same size cord for color? I'm wondering if I can use macrame cord for color? Meaning if I used 3.5 cords to attach to dowel could I use 3.5 macrame cord for color areas? If yes, would I wrap 2 cords at a time or 1 cord at a time? How do you determine whether to wrap 1 or 2 cords at a time? I have seen it done both ways. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time.
💙 Hello Tracy 👋🏻 So….I like using t-shirt yarn, and regular yarn because it’s MUCH more inexpensive than buying dyed single strand rope. It also comes in way more colours and is easier to find…AND sometimes you can get some pretty cool textures going on with it (see my faux fur bunny wall hanging). But yes, you most definitely can use the same cotton rope as your filler cords Now the reason why some patterns have you tie your vertical double half hitch knots around two cords rather than one is because of what size of rope/yarn you are using. The goal is to have your VDHH knot be a compact square shape to mimic your grid pattern. If it’s off in size that’s when your image will start to distort-you get squat or elongated images. The rule of thumb is, your filler cords need to be twice the diameter of the working cords. That is why when I use t-shirt yarn I need to tie it around two filler cords, same as if I were using cotton rope. But if I’m using regular yarn it’s about half the size of the filler cord so I would then only tie my knot around one cord …I hope that makes sense and answers your questions 💙
@@SimplyInspiredbySheena Thank you so much for answering my questions and explaining wrapping 1 verses wrapping 2. Things make sense now and it explains why the one I did previously (my project not from your tutorial) gave me so many problems. Yes ma'am you did answer all of my questions. Thanks again for taking the time to respond to me. Much appreciated!
Hello, Great work! I would love to be able to do this. Unfortunately not getting on with the web version. Has anyone in the Uk found an app very similar and simple? Many thanks 😊
💙 Thank you! I got the macrame board from Amazon! I think this is the exact one (I had it flipped over in the video) www.amazon.ca/dp/B00ED36RIO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_8ZEJC2JXCS2N9ECA444Q
I want to thank you for your explanation it is quite simple and enough, I have a question please How can we know the length of cord for each color depending on a design ? your prompt reply is highly appreciated , thanks is advance for your kindness :)
💙 It’s really difficult to estimate how much you need as vertical double half hitch knots take up quite a lot of rope. It also depends on the creator’s tension, and the rope they are using. Because of all these variables I don’t like to give exact measurements, instead I like to think of it as a knitting or crochet pattern and state how many balls of yarn (or pounds of rope in my case) that will be needed. That way it gives plenty of room for error
💙 Mostly trail and error. I know that with the rope I use I can comfortably fit 22 larks head knots across the top of my 12 inch (30cm) dowel. So that gives me up to 44 strands of rope in total. I can make a large detailed grid pattern using yarn as my working cords with the horizontal dimension of 44 cubes across. Or I can make a more simple pattern using rope or t-shirt yarn by tying my VDHH knots around two cords at a time, which would make the horizontal dimension on my grid pattern to be 22 cubes across…..the vertical dimension in both scenarios doesn’t matter too much because as long as my rope fits nicely on the top of the dowel my pattern can be as long as it needs to be, I generally over estimate the length when designing and then crop the bottom of my pattern where it’s ascetically pleasing
Muito lindo seu trabalho, gostaria de fazer a minha gata, mas não consigo deixas a foto dela como você fez com o cachorrinho. A primeira parte do Pixel-Stitch entendi, mas esse outro programa que você pintou o fundo e selecionou as cores para ficar mais fácil fazer o trabalho de macrame não consegui entender. poderia colocar o link dos apps ou programas que você utilizou? Obrigada. Achei o site e o app, agora não sei usar.
💙 Which method are you using? If you are using the app you are going to have to draw over top of the image to narrow down the colours. If you are using the website you really need to start off with a very good clear image. Both methods work best if you have quite a large portrait that fills the frame, anything small and detailed tends to get lost in the pixelation process. I hope that helps you, it takes a bit of playing around with it
Hi I am trying to follow your instructions for pixel macrame I was going ok until I downloaded my pic it looked nothing like my pic then I tried to edit the colours and things went really pear shaped. It was impossible to edit the colours with my finger is that how it’s done? Please tell me where I’m going wrong and how to do it right.
💙 Hey I just messaged you on Facebook but I’ll kinda repeat myself here too in case someone else might have a similar situation ☺️ Geometric images or any images with lots of lines and shapes is more difficult for the image converter. I usually hand draw my pattern out if it’s not converting well Hand drawing out a pattern is really time consuming but you do get quicker after some practice and remember to save often. I’ve had the app crash on me and lost my work before 😣 I do use my finger to hand draw it but a stylus would work too. And don’t forget that you can zoom in and zoom out to get more details Hope that helps 🤗
💙 I certainly can! I’ve been told that it’s not available in some countries and it was free when I downloaded it but someone said it wasn’t free for her. Here is the link: apps.apple.com/ca/app/pixel-art-maker/id897806469
💙 Yes unfortunately it’s only compatible with iOS. I’m looking into finding one that works across all devices but in the meantime you could try pixel stitch if you are working from an image
💙 Yes this one is definitely more advanced than other VDHH patterns of mine. I recommend you take a peek at some of my smaller more simple ones to start off with. I have an entire playlist AND tomorrow I have a super easy one coming out of an anchor. Here is my playlist in the meantime ua-cam.com/play/PLRp2nS1VndIoDbu5cPA4YS1Y0gLzsphbH.html Hope that helps 🤗
