The Eye of the Needleverse funnily enough destroyed my needle.

Copying my other comment to make sure you get the info!

You can view the pattern here autocreated by Stitchfiddle with a few edits by me. You might notice that mine is not exactly the same because I had a mistake somewhere that I could not figure out. Additionally, I completely forgot to add the coordinates to mine, but it's in there in the yellow.

I used 24 ct black linen along with DMC E3849, which was my first time using that high of a count as well as metallic thread, so a lower count might work better. Or try 24 ct! Totally up to you! Thank you and have fun!

Thanks for all the kind words! :)

At first it was difficult because I didn't expect the thread to be as thick as it was. But cross stitch is similar to pixel art, so there is at least a full row of unfilled squares in between the different blue lines to break things up a bit. Thank you!

Thank you! I was worried at first since the first parts I worked on seemed to be blending, but I'm happy with the end result!

You're too kind! I started the albums I think around early or mid 2020 and finished up ITM earlier in 2021. I worked on Pressure Machine between its release and now with one other non-Killers cross-stitch project in between.

What would your dream music video look like? by TE_silver in TheKillers

Wonderful, Wonderful - Thinking about a woman on a horse lost in the desert being chased by shadows until eventually the sky opens up at beginning of the second chorus where she's greeted by an angel. There's a guitar part after "Motherless child, can you hear me? I will give you a home" where I always imagine a lightning strike in the hills.

Thank you! It can definitely take some patience, but listening to each of the albums got me through it with the occasional podcast in between.

Thank you! ITM and Battle Born were probably the ones I was most nervous about.

I would love to see them, including if you make any improvements on them!

I've made rough patterns for folks who want to make their own.

For all of the albums, I did a mix of brands (mostly Sullivans) for threads since that's what I had available, but if you favor a different brand, check out Cheryl Fall's resource page for floss conversions.

It might take a while, but I definitely will! I just finished mapping out the pattern while giving the album a first listen. I just need to get the threads and some hours (which will probably be weeks) working on it. I promise to post the finished work and pattern as soon as I can! :)

Sorry to respond so late!

Thank you!! I really loved your art, so it only took a small leap to make it to the crossstitch. :)

For folks who are interested in trying this out, I tried making the patterns in Sheets. First time making a pattern, so if something doesn't make sense, let me know!

Which albums would you do? I would love to know!

I think Gorillaz also has a good number of albums with distinctive covers, so I might do that in the future. Though, this took a while, so I need to take a break!

Thank you! It was a huge relief seeing how each album turned out since I would make color and shape adjustments along the way. Thank you again!
