I don't have much practice at making my own patterns, I just do a lot of modifying.

Ha. Like with code. I don't think I ever wrote anything from scratch but I once frankensteined nine instances of Matt's Script Archive guestbook together to create a CMS with separate logins per section. Have done a lot of that kind of thing.

Anyway, this one isn't getting the geometric precision of most projects. I'm just charting the drawing.

#WIP #CrossStitch

Okay I'm calling it. Something went wrong going around the outside before the mouth, and the rest is trying to compensate, and now the text probably won't fit.

#GaveUp #CrossStitch

Sigh. Okay gonna try again on this one. I'll do all the text first and if that means removing stitches to make room, that's what I'll do.

#WIP #CrossStitch

Okay. I did pick out and restitch a couple sections. Snek looks made of play-doh but still a lot better than before.

#WIP #CrossStitch

All done. Not thrilled with it, but it's okay. I'll probably do a better one in the future.
