Just completed! Fractal cross stitch

Post by CapnAllegra »

I just completed my first cross stitch project, and I'm really proud of it. The fractal design is my own (if anyone wants the pattern, I could find a way to do that somehow). I've always been obsessed with fractals, and thought I'd share as my introductory post on this forum. :)

It's 200x125 stitches and uses 13 colours. The picture is phone-quality, but I could get better ones if anyone would like a closer look.

Not really! The colours are much more distinct in the actual project than they seem. The contrast saved my poor eyes.

Pretty insane pattern for you to do first up! Love to see what you'd do when you've got some more stuff under your belt!

Congrats! Nothing like jumping in headfirst with a large project. :grin: I love the bright colors. Great job!
I think so, Brain, but can the gummi worms really live in peace with the marshmallow chicks?
I think so, Brain, but if they called them "sad meals" nobody would buy them.
