WIP Wednesday. Something colourful I'm working on.
With the big project finished, I embarked on something smaller a month ago...but I put it on hold. Now I'm at it again.
The grid is one square off on one column so the whole thing is off. Any better ways to make an accurate grid? I know pre-gridded is a thing but I have a couple of meters of that plain 14ct fabric that I want to use up.
How has your week been, did you work on anything exciting?

Suggestions for accurate gridding:
If you have access to a 3d printer, you can print these gridding rulers, which have made my life way easier since I discovered them.
If you don't have access to a 3d printer, you could cut a small scrap of aida in the same count as your working fabric and essentially create a ruler for yourself. You'd still have to manually count out and mark the ruler, but you'd only have to do it once. Then you can just transfer the lines to your working fabric each time you start a new project.
Note that there is some variance in sizing, stretchiness, and whatnot between fabrics though, even if they're all the same count. So you may still want to do a quick double check against the ruler before gridding the entire fabric.
