Cross Sti and the hilarious misspelled cross stitch

Sometimes things go wrong. Maybe it was auto correct, maybe it was miscounting, but regardless, its crazy funny when it doesn’t happen to you. This are some of the best cross stitch mistakes out there.

We start with someone who even made it to a book, specifically Craft Fail: When Homemade Goes Horribly Wrong By Heather Mann, where an entreped cross stitcher spent hours stitching the beginning of her hobby only to realise once she’d finished that it wasn’t all she cracked it up to be.

Sometimes people realise a lot earlier though, like this cross stitcher who only drew the letters on, and then realised the missing H. Most shocking of all though, he’s trying to sell it on ebay for $15…

Sometimes though, spellings are on purpose. This sarky stitch sadly fools more people than it should, but is a great way to make a mistake a feature.

Finally though, by far the most common cross stitch mistake I could find; gob. Sadly, some of these are massive pieces.

  1. Lo

    I enjoyed this, but obligatory pointing out that the last piece (the second “gob”) is a joke, not a misspelling… the subheading is a clear reference to Gob, the character from Arrested Development. But the god misspelling is implied as part of the joke. Forgive me being pedantic, I tried but could not stop myself. Thanks for being a super helpful resource for stitch stuff, I’ve been helped so many times <3
