FlossTube #1 - Hello Stitchy Friends

Summary AI

In her first FlossTube video, Lashawn introduces herself and her cross-stitch journey, sharing a range of WIPs and plans. She begins by showing her beloved dragon pattern, Little Dragons Wind by Sheena Pike, which she has been stitching since 2017 and restarted in December 2025. She explains how she uses Markup XP and Pattern Keeper on a tablet to manage her patterns, and she has gridded the fabric herself to aid her stitching.
