Nacho's Altair - Updated 14th August.

Post by nachosmiley »

This project is going to be for my DH, he is obsessed with a game called Assassins Creed on the PS3 and I decided to have a go at making a chart for him :shock: Well this is what the finished piece should look something like.....I hope :x:

And this is where I am now..

Not much to see atm!! This is the first time I've ever worked over 1, aren't the stitches just soooo cute and teeny! This is definately going to be a long term project as there are 56 pages to get through.....but the pages are only 50 x 65 as I have blown them up to make the symbols easer to read. I think I will post as and when I finish a page from now on...wish me luck!!

Hubby now thinks I'm a terrible wife for not stitching his favorite game characters. I blame you Nacho ;)

Well I finally finished a page :dance: Ok not the page I started......but still :lol: . I originally started this 1 over 1 full cross but after stitching about half a page I decided that I would restart using tent stitch instead. I restarted on page 8 and have been frogging page 1 in dribs and drabs at the same time as frogging 28cnt is an absolute nightmare! Anyway here is the finished page...

I'm really enjoying stitching this now using tent stitch and I'm really pleased with the result so far :D

Thanks for looking

:applesauce: It looks great. and I think slowly frogging page 1 makes sense. I admire that you are doing that instead of just starting over on different fabric. When I have to :ribbit: just a few stitches on 25 ct it makes me crazy. This is going to be so amazing when you are done. Love your updates.

This is going to be really cool. I'm in awe of those of you who do large designs of solid stitching like this.
