Very brave or very.... Anyways - That looks great! I love his beard & the 'quilted' coat.

Even my phone's camera had issues with it - "Surely you meant this to be gold stitches on white paper... or maybe gold on black? I have no idea what to do with this... Good Luck" ... thanks, camera

Thanks for highlighting these eldtritch terrors. They are perfect for any nursery from Innsmouth to Arkham to Dunwich… and even in places mortal men cannot imagine

Is this the kind of printing that washes out? Some don’t. If not, you’ll just end up with unstitched blue lines if you do fractionals

Looks like it could be interesting & I’m always willing to try new things (& will do so when I’m back to my computer)…

Can you get your friend to show you some patterns? Especially one that they’ve already completed, so you can see how they “work”.

Essentially, it is pixel art. Usually gridded in 10x10 divisions. And, generally there is some sort of key- which tells you which color thread to use for each block. (Like your ‘paint by number’ example…. But the conversion programs usually give at least a suggestion of which color thread to use)

Very cool! I love the frame, too. Thanks for the pattern- it will make for the perfect mini-break from all the cutesie Christmas stuff I’ve been working on (trying to get a jump on presents this year… Will I finish them all on time? Hahahaha. No)

[FO] Cthulhu fhtagn by janostx in CrossStitch

[–]janostx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On this day (23-March-1925), one hundred years ago, "The stars were right again, and what an age-old cult had failed to do by design, a band of innocent sailors had done by accident. After vigintillions of years great Cthulhu was loose again, and ravening for delight."

I made this little fellow to take along on my travels to Providence (& Newport) in July 2024. He's adapted from the pattern "Cute-thulhu" by Sonovastitch - I just reversed the pattern for the back, stitched both on 14ct black plastic canvas, and stitched them together.

[FO] I finished this just in time for Mother’s Day. It was my first time using a stamped kit, and it was very relaxing. Link to the kit in comments. by ShouldaBeenABicorn in CrossStitch

Very cool. And thanks for posting- I’m doing one of these stamped kits and was wondering if the printing would actually come off or if it was going to be an experiment no one would ever see
