:clapping: Well done on those patterns! Marvellous design, love the clock idea.

Who is your favourite doctor?

Thanks.

And it's hard for me to choose. I looooove 10 as the acting is wonderful and he's really easy on the eyes. :grin: But I'm currently going through and watching every single Doctor Who episode (only on 3 right now) and I'm kind of partial to the Second Doctor. He kind of reminds me of Ten in some of his mannerisms, but I dunno. Four was my first Doctor, but I haven't seen him in awhile to say if I loved him or not.

:shock: WOW! Thank you and your husband so very much! *showers with love and confetti*
I can't wait to get to work on this! I went to print out the actual image of the whole clock so I can reference the colors..and my work printer is black and white only :banghead: lol now I have to print it from home.
How does your husband do the pattern on Paint? I don't know how to make patterns in general so I'm just curious. Someday I will buy one of those programs so that I can.

Thank you again!!! Maybe I will make the Gallifrey one for a friend as a gift <#

He just draws, I guess. He use to play around with Paint a lot back in the day and spent hours and hours making symbols and the like. You do sometimes have to zoom in and do it pixel by pixel. Then, when he was all done, I tried to import it into KG Chart, but it screwed some things up, so I had to go through and, pixel by pixel, clean it up and pick out the right colors.

Also, the colors on the screen in KG chart don't always match up with what the thread actually looks like. I would advise looking at the original picture for the correct colors. That's what I used for the reference. And some of the colors can probably be the same (like the brown haired people I used a different color for each, I think). That would help get your colors down, if that's an issue.

And he loved doing this, so now he's bothering me to come up with ideas for more patterns. I've created a monster, I think.

You both did a great job with it. I plan on heading out for the thread sometime this weekend so I'll get to work on it. I'll have to post pictures so you can see the final result.

Haha if he wants to do another one, I can have him make another pattern for me. My sister wants a clock like the Doctor Who one but with the Disney princesses. I drew/colored and laid them out using photoshop, but when I go to pixelate it to use as a pattern it looks kinda funny to me.

But at least he is being productive :grin:
I love cross-stitching but I get bored easily with my projects so I have like 3 going at the moment. Doctor Who is the smallest so hopefully I won't drift away from it.

He said he would be willing. I'll shoot you a PM with my e-mail address so we can hash out the details and the like. :)
