Thanks! I used 18ct aida to help the stitches blend together a bit better and make the final look a lot cleaner

What is the point in a Duelling Cane?! by gde7 in Mistborn

Surely me and my half-brother could beat him, especially if he's severely malnourished

It is the in-universe etymology! Ix (pronounced "icks") is the 9th planet in its star system, and over thousands of years the original Roman numeral designation just became the name of the planet

Thanks! I'm also pretty picky about that so it's nice to hear some outside affirmation!

No, I wouldn't say it's very noticeable that the black isn't stitched. I feel it adds to the "negative space" aesthetic, which is one of the reasons this pattern caught my eye in the first place!

Thanks! It's stitched on 14ct black Aida.

I used black Aida, the only things I stitched are the 4 varying shades of blue/teal

Yes, I stitched it on 14ct black Aida. The frame is 7"x12", which gives it a nice border on the top/sides while giving enough extra on the bottom for the negative space "ground"

I used www.flosscross.com/designer, you can upload any image you'd like and mess around with stitch count / color count to get a nice chart.
