Pour one out for possibly my oldest cross stitch needle.

RIP.

@thegiddystitcher @sortofblue I don't want to gang up on you but I also think sticking needles in tofu is the best use of it ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚

@kristenrapp @sortofblue Look I don't want to be That Person, but you both need to try this asap https://www.rabbitandwolves.com/crispy-hawaiian-garlic-tofu-vegan/

(sorry I can't help myself it's like my second fave meal after pizza ๐Ÿ˜…)

Don't apologise, I'm That Person in a whole host of subjects, lol. As good as that recipe looks (the photos are fantastic), I'd probably try it with chicken breast instead, only I don't know what agave syrup is or if I could find it in a kiwi supermarket.

Not sure how that happened but may it rest in floss, and let it find the softest fabrics in the needle afterlife.

Honestly I wasn't even abusing it (for once), I think it was just done with existence ๐Ÿ˜…

Godspeed little one. I have broken one needle so far myself it was one that came with my shitty first set from Amazon with not dmc thread.

It crossed the ~~Styx~~ Stych.

I'm so sorry for your loss! Somehow I've managed to destroy three of them already since I started this hobby a few months ago lol
