Radical Cross Stitch

And of course titling a post as such causes the interwebs to hate me right back and trash my post. Sigh..

I wrote this great thing about how cool cross stitchers are ’cause we’re down with our roots and are ace at subverting traditional design, exhibit a, Kate Westerholt. Then I talked about how there’s this super ace pattern floating about which not only gives props to the old skool but also gets down with the nu skool in a mad sampler/pixel art/nerd joke remix.

Here’s the pattern:

And here it is in actual stitches:

And in true web styles, someone else had a go

And woah, it’s taking off now!

How freaking awesome is THAT? I’m tempted to join in the fun and do one myself, but my WIP pile would seriously scream at me..

Props Mr X Stitch for the delicious find.

Oh, and speaking of nerdcore, Elle Carpenter (of HTML Embroidery fame) is up to no good in Sweden, and the Swedes, man, they know ALL ABOUT cross stitch! Check it out.
