New member, getting back into cross-stitching after a many-year hiatus. It's slow going, but it's fun to do again.
First thing I did was a Bulbasaur, just to see if I remembered how to take needle to aida again, and lo and behold, it was just like riding a bike. I made the pattern myself with PCStitch after grabbing a sprite off of
The Shyguy Kingdom. Just a few colours, clear plastic frame that's magnetized to the fridge.
Second was something a bit more colourful, everyone's favourite poptart-cat-space-rainbow. Took me just over a week I think, working on and off. Forgot how easily the floss knots, so my grumbles were almost as colourful as its rainbow trail. I apologize for the horrendously grainy quality of the picture, my camera refuses to take anything better of it. Got enough room on the aida for another 3, might do them and sell them or something. Need to find a bunch of small and cheap frames...
Current project is a Charizard + Gyarados for an old friend back in Canada, for his birthday/Cmas present. Just started it today (08/10/12), so I don't really have anything to post for it. Will post an update on it in a couple days, probably. Getting all the Gyarados floss on Sunday, when Michael's is having their 25% off everything sale.
Update 08/20/12 - Charizard half of the project done, now on to Gyarados:
Update 08/30/12 - Gyarados done.
Update 09/06/12 - Ninetales done.
Update 09/15/12 - Ivysaur done.
