1UP Stitch

[Kazzandra]

So here's my first project based on my own initiative:



It's an 11 X 14 plastic canvas, so it's easy to emulate, and I include pattern(s) and pictures of various stages of completion.
I know tent stitch is basic for plastic canvas but the half-stitchs look so pixel-awesome, don't they? Easy four colour project, too! It takes about two weeks of dedicated stitching.

Patterns:

You can see the problems with using a .jpg as a source file. I manually had to pick out the solid stitches.

I thought..what is tent stitch? Then I saw the "for the lulz pics" and I totally understood. I could also see how big the design was from those pics and its quite an immense project. I think its really cool, well done.
Incidently, what have you got planned for this piece??

Are you saying I was fast or slow? Being that this was my first real cross-stitching project, I don't know how others pace themselves. I just stitch while listening to audio books.

Oh, I'm saying it's fast I'm an awfully slow stitcher. College frequently getting in the way of my me-time XD
