Here's my second full pattern: Link, to go with Zelda! Due to the aspect ratio, the paginated version of Link is arranged horizontally, to reduce the paper-use from four to three pages.

Please note, in this pattern, I'm using a more logical "recommended floss colours" scheme -- the 'more recommended' colour is now on the left (but still closest to its associated swatch!).

Enjoy!

Nice job! Those old pixelated video game designs really lend themselves to cross stitch. I'd love to see a Guybrush Threepwood done that way. :D

...I really need to learn to cross-stitch. >_>

This one's picking up a lot of hearts.

And this one is my second charity item for the April's Army charity sale. This time we're helping out someone who lost everything she owned (including her pet bunny :( ) in a fire.



"Cupcake" is a derogatory term for a certain subset of Etsians. I was basically trying to come up with a phrase that means "play nice" in a sort of snarky way. :P

What does it mean? Is it like calling someone a fluffy bunny?

Speaking of bunnies, nice work, daughter of Lorelei!

Adorable, Lorelei! :D

Hippie--It's sort of like... the way a thread gets locked the second there's a HINT of "calling out" (for example, suggesting someone might be reselling factory-made goods), and yet the resellers just keep operating for years.
And the way that, since frustrations and conflicts are shut down long before they ever get a chance to be hammered out, the place has become a hive of passive-aggressive Mean Girls bullshit.

The cupcakes are the ones who don't want a harsh word EVER EVER EVER to be said, even when locking things down so tight in the face of basic human nature and genuine frustrations just makes things worse.

So I've made my first amigurumi. She's a goblin. Her name is Zel. She is both evil and cute.

In the second pic you can kinda sorta see that I've given her pointy ears. The ear pattern was my own invention!  :)
