Sprite Stitch Board!

Hi,

I started cross stitching about a couple of weeks ago and I started of big
Basically I'm going to stitch all the sprites of the first generation pokemon. I'm using the sprites of the pokemon yellow game, because that's the game I have.

I'm going to put them all in a blue or yellow frame (because of the blue and yellow pokemon logo) of 65*65 stitches. A problem I had, was that there's just no way you can make a rectangle with 151 squares, so I added the 8 gym leaders and the sprite of Ash.

So I'm making 160 squares on one big cloth. The plan is to make at least one a week, although I hope to make more, otherwise I'll be at this for 3 years

I finished brock and misty and am now working on surge, pictures below

Very nice! Sounds like a lot of work - be sure to keep posting WIP pics for us and we'll try to help keep you motivated!

Whoop whoop =D

Keep up the good work =3

Do you have a picture of the entire cloth?

Oooh! They look good so far, I hope you keep posting pictures of your progress. I had to comment so I could keep up with it !

Good luck!

I'm definitely going to be following this! Good luck with it

very cool idea for a design and looking good so far, try to look at it as 160 mini projects rather than one big one so it doesn't feel too overwelming good luck and look forward to seeing your progress

The original Idea was to stitch my 6 all time favourite pokémon. And I was going to put a black frame around all of them and then the idea grew =)

I'll show the entire cloth when I've finished the first row. And I'll keep up the good work!

Do you have a pattern for all this? It looks like it'd be amazing to do. I also just started cross stitching, and I already have a list of "Projects To-Do" that just keeps growing the longer I spend on this site.

I do have a pattern for this. But the program I use, doesn't have a copy-paste function. So I have 160 separate pdf-files; one for every frame.

I can put them all in a zip-file if you like.

Update. It's been a while, I had to look for this thread on page 3

But I've been stitching frames. Every frame is 65 by 65 stitches and I don't like counting stitches. So I made a column of frames all the way down an to the right, so I won't have to count stitches for frames anymore.
I did ran into a snag. The cloth wasn't cut straight (it hadn't occurred to me to check) and the 10th frame won't fit under the ninth =(

So now i made 8 frames, so I can make the first 80 frames and then future me can decide what to do. I can either move the tenth frame about 30 stitches, or cut the cloth in half. But that's for future me to worry about.

Anyways

I finished Serge.



And here's the whole cloth.



I have a long way to go.
