| There may be in the cup A spider steeped, and one may drink, depart, And yet partake no venom, for his knowledge Is not infected; but if one present Th' abhorred ingredient to his eye, make known What he hath drunk, he cracks his gorge, his sides, With violent hefts. I have drunk and seen the spider. - William Shakespeare, The Winter's Tale |
Cross Stitch and Pixel Art Have a Lot in Common I have completed a grand total of three cross stitch projects to date and am currently half-way through a fourth. It takes me a long time to crank these things out!
I have yet to decide what technique works best for me. There's placing stitches row by row, or by color, or by pre-marked sections (either grid-based, or design-based). No matter what I do, when I'm working from a pattern, I always miscount a bunch of stitches. I'm getting good at adapting designs to hide my errors, ha ha. I blame this all-too-regular occurrence on my propensity for getting lost. I have zero sense of direction. The two problems must be related.

Looking at your favorites, I feel like my next project should be an embroidery of a spider... Too bad I'm not a fan of those things >___<

If spiders are a little too creepy, perhaps another delicately legged creature might do. Beetles, for example, come in all shapes and sizes and often sport exquisite colors on their wing covers. Moths are also a lovely subject. Everyone does butterflies, but I feel that moths have more character.
Peace!
