hadaad's non-gaming stitches

I figured I'd share what I'm working on. I have some game-related stuff I am, and want to be, working on, but I also have some non-game stuff.

For instance, I'm a fan of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series, and when I got back into cross stitch sometime earlier this year, I used myphotostitch.com to create this pattern:

I've finished the first page and two lines of the page below.
It's slow-going -- I'm trying a technique that's new to me, having all the colours in a 10x10 block needled up and doing one row at a time. I think I'll speed up as time goes on. I'm painfully slow right now, but I think it will really help me to not miss any stitches, which has been a problem for me in my hunt-and-peck past.

I have some other projects that I've finished, and I'll share them later, as well as progress updates on the wheel of time pattern.

I completed a pattern as a gift for a friend. I'm moving on to a new job, and he's staying behind. Also, he's a huge Simpsons fan.

I'm gong to include a note so he doesn't think I'm rubbing the new job in his face. I hope he likes it...

Imagine that, but right-side up.
