Sprite Stitch Board!

This is gorgeous! And yes, working with metallic thread is a pain... I bought a special conditioner for metallic floss a while ago, but I've never used it so I don't know if it really works. Maybe one day I'll try it and I'll make this pattern!

I stitched this a while ago too. I just used black floss on white aida though and now I'm a little jealous of your beautiful gold!! :] It looks amazing.

Its gorgeous!! I love metallic threads on black, its a pity they are so annoying to work with. Congrats on taming the metallic!

this is sooooo going on my stitch list for next year!!

This is amazing, well done!

Thank you all so much for your lovely feedback! It all put a big smile on my face. And yes, gold thread...my gosh, my sanity has taken severe beating! I found it so much easier to work with if I put a very tiny tight knot on the end to stop it unravelling as I stitched. And I gave it to my friend for his birthday and he loves it!

Changes I can recall off the top of my head are:
-Backstitch instead of cross stitch for the bow string and slingshot, also the bomb fuse
-Added a couple of stitches to the ball and chain to make it pointier
-Changed the hookshot quite a bit
-Changed the rupees a lot
-Changed the bombchu and torch a little

I think that's about it as far as changes go, I hope it helped!

This looks amazing! Nicely done.

This looks so great. I have in the past stayed away from the metallic floss because it seems to have such a bad reputation, but seeing these awesome results I have to say it seems like it would be worth it!

Amazing! Where is the original pattern located? This will definitely go on my list of patterns to try!
