Show HN: Stitchwink Uses AI to Create Editable Cross-Stitch Patterns

Summary

Stitchwink is a tool for creating custom cross-stitch patterns with AI. Users describe a design with text and can optionally provide images, then edit the generated pattern in a built-in stitch editor. Its creator says general AI tools may produce images that look convincing but do not correspond to physically realizable cross-stitch patterns when examined in detail. Stitchwink is intended to address that gap by producing an editable pattern rather than only a finished-looking image. The tool is not described as perfect, so manual corrections may still be needed. The creator says his wife, who has cross-stitched since childhood, has used those edits to make custom patterns.
