In Stitches

May 26, 2006 20:55

A couple months ago I rediscovered the joys of eBay. And among my purchases were numerous cross-stitch patterns.

I bought this Pirate pattern, and stitched it on a cream-colored evenweave. The land masses were a pain (time-consuming and tedious) and I found a few color errors/discrepancies in the pattern itself. But the finished product looks good ( Read more... )

if you're looking for Griffins, please to not be hacking off my head and mounting it on your wall! :)

Actually, I'm looking for "gryphons." Unfortunately, people often spell it differently, which makes searches more difficult. "Griffins" I can handle, but "griffons" is just an aberration.

What about Gríobhán? :)

Alternative spelling is one of the many problems with words which are moved from language to language, often with different alphabets. The above is the Old Irish version of my surname.

oh, I'm an under-roller when there are kittens, and an over-roller at other times.

For some reason, I was only able to see the Springberry designs - and they are CUTE! :)

I fixed the links. I had saved a partial draft of this post in my e-mail, and when I pasted that into livejournal, my e-mail address was included in the link. Weird.

I may have to get that Pirate pattern to stitch for my fiance. :)

As far as the question at hand-- I"m an under.

I found measi via one of the Friday Five lj communities. Since she seemed cool and we had some common interests, I friended her.

And, coincidentally, we attended B.U. at around the same time period.

ah-ha.

i had one of those internet shrinking, head-explody moments as i wasn't aware she had an LJ account...we know each other from the stitching BB and I've been reading her blog since last year.

I've seen the Springberry Creek designs before but forgot who designed them, I'm going to have to check them out.

Over-roller here. Under is annoying.
