Um, has anyone ever bothered manually converting a decently large paper pattern into digital?

Was it worth the time you saved during actual stitching?
Because it seemed like a really good idea to give myself a Pattern Keeper version of Errol, but this much took me half an hour, so maybe not...
@Jornia @Drachin @lemmy_stitch Thank you! Mine is significantly smaller, but still big enough to be a pain in paper form, so sounds like I was on the right track all along.
*rolls up sleeves*
@thegiddystitcher I think @Jornia didn't do it by hand though. Should have read more carefully. If I'm right she... took a photo or scanned the original and put it into the app...? @lemmy_stitch
@Drachin @thegiddystitcher @lemmy_stitch
I scanned the template and then loaded it into the app.
The template is also squashed, I've now folded it up to make the symbols easier to read
@Jornia @Drachin @lemmy_stitch Sadly mine has so much backstitch everywhere PK can't really make sense of it. But you know what, I'm in the groove, I'll just keep going.
For science! ๐
@thegiddystitcher @Drachin @lemmy_stitch PK doesn't recognize the symbols for me either, which isn't so bad. I can still mark the finished one and the symbol list is next to it.
@Jornia @Drachin @lemmy_stitch Will let you know how long this takes and if it was worth it in the end ๐
@thegiddystitcher @Drachin @lemmy_stitch I'm excited, entering the 2 photos into PK took about 45 minutes
It didn't turn out perfectly, but it still works great.
