    Actually, I wonder if we could truely do this... NS Merchandise in the form of papercraft projects, do it yourself cross stitching, ect! Maybe even Crocheting and the like!

    Ok after helping an old employer fix a nuked server on Monday night, I finally had some time last night to start actual work on the project.

    The first step is to tape up the edges of the aida cloth so it doesn't unravel.

    Then you need to put a hoop on to keep the fabric taut where you are working to prevent buckling and puckering.

    And of course mark the center of the pattern and the edges (in blue in this case)

    That looks like this

    <img src='http://fc.gedsb.net/~windlema/tapedandhooped.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

    As I mentioned before the first section is black on black, so this picture may be tough to see but I completed about 70 cross stiches last night (so 140 single stitches) out of the 9800 X-Stitches there are total. But I started late and am still getting used to working with black thread on black aida (something I've never done before)

    When you look at the following images, you will notice what look like holes. They are intentionally left for other colours.

    On the left of the first image is my needle and the rest of the thread from last night..

    <img src='http://fc.gedsb.net/~windlema/closeupangle.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

    And this is an extreme closeup that captures the starkness of what I've done vs. the cloth.

    <img src='http://fc.gedsb.net/~windlema/closeup.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

    I have about another 6-10 rows of black that I'll be doing hopefully tonight. So I should have more images tomorrow with a larger visable section.

    But I wanted to update to show that I've started.

    I thought I'd post a quick text update....

    Still working with black on black but now almost 400 X stitches complete..

    I really need to get started with some colour though so I can show you something better than just patterns made by black on black..

    that... and I think i'm going insane..

    Anyway next update tomorrow with some colour..

    Some time lapse photography would be cool, showing it in progress and then we can make our own zunni's_crossstitch_madness flip book!

    "tomorrow" was 2 weeks ago, this looks cool and is proof of all the freakin awesome stuff I miss by never looking in the artwork section.
