Sprite Stitch Board!

So here it is the first of many posts about the epic pokemon gen 1 d.p. I would like to give credit to servotron (spritestitch) for original pattern viewtopic.php?f=7&t=403 and credit to wolbsamoht (reddit) for the extended pattern https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/commen ... en1_cross/

I had a few set backs when i started but now im back on track to do a grid or two a day maybe more. im sure you dont want to hear that story.

the size is huge

That is going to be massive...and will look SO cool! You're off to a great start...and have fun working on it!

Thank you and i will definitely have fun. It is my first go big or go home piece.

It certainly is an enormous project! I imagine doing it with diamond painting rather than stitching has unique challenges. I've not entertained the idea of cross stitching the pattern because I hate starting and stopping a ton of different thread colors. Certainly the back of your epic Pokemon will be the neatest on the forum

lmfao yes it will be the neatest i honestly never thought about that. instead of getting tied in knots i spill them on the floor. so i have to stop everything get on the floor and find the beads. my friend is like you dropped the beads again. the worst is when you can't find one and ends up being somewhere on my body.

About how long does it take you?

i try to do a grid every 20-30 minutes without any interruptions. every morning during the week i try to give myself an hour to work on it. on weekend im able to get a little more done.

You are making great progress!

Do you have anything on in the background while you work?
