Legendary Pokemon cross stitch WIP

Post by IzzyXIII »

First of all, hi everyone! I started this cross stitch late november last year. I made a pattern after being inspired by the epic pokemon pattern, deciding that i wanted to do a project with all the gen I - gen IV legendary pokemon in it.

I haven't done that much on it because of other commitments (work, presents for friends etc), and hand picking all the colours certainly is a strain.
Also, it's on aida 11 count cloth (note to self: research about different aida cloth sizes before buying), another strain

Here's the first WIP pics (excuse the dull lighting)

I've only completed Mew so far, almost finished Mewtwo, but I'm finding it hard to focus on just one pokemon at a time, so stitching one part of one then moving on to another one seems cater better to my short attention span

I'm quite proud of what i've done so far,
and hopefully i'll have some more WIP pics by the end of next week

Looking good so far. I admire your ambition. I just recently got back in to cross stitching and so I've been starting small. I have a couple big projects in mind, but I don't want to get so bored that I just stop working on it, lol. I look forward to seeing more updates.

Got a few days off next week, so i should get a fair bit of stitching done

EDIT: Just hit my first major mistake!
Upon further inspection and x stitching , i've only just realised that Celebi's right arm is one row too high (and thus, the rest of the pokemon above celebi too high), which i only found when starting on the colours of Suicune (you can kind of see the outline of one of its feet between Zapdos' right wing and Mew's tail). I also just found that i stitched Articuno one row too low (which isn't a problem)
But there's no way i'm starting all the pokemon (above Celebi) one row lower, so as long as I fix up Suicune (and Celebi's body), i can work around the rest of the mistake :(

Wow... really cool! I wish you all the luck! Too bad about that 1 row, but if you can solve it decently, it's ok (right?)! :good:

Thanks for your support Lijnloos :)

i re-arranged the pattern a bit last night and fixed most of it today, with just a few stitches on Regice to fix, then i can finally move forward with this
