APRIL Stitch-a-Long - Patterns and Prep!

[MeiTow]

OMG DALEKS! I'm completely in love and will be doing that band somewhere/sometime soon!

I'm all for BMH's suggestion but it's going to be so very hard to vote on all these great bands!

[starrley]

This also had to be done. I'm sure everyone will see it coming. I was thinking of making more, with more obscure Pokemon. Maybe bands done by types.

I read that samplers often included a quote, mostly religious or self-improvement, and this was my first thought.

That's a very good point! Samplers did often include words of wisdom and stuff like that, so if anyone has some ideas like m4pl3g1rl's in mind then they would be very welcome!

[MeiTow]

My words of wisdom...


Don't forget to save...and save often!

Or

The Pessimist: Glass is half-empty.
The Optimist: Glass is half-full.
The Gamer: I drink it. What happens?!

[merrywether]

Because it had to be done. ^_^

So did this one

My other thought was to include one of the things I learned from video games like what Laialda did in her pattern: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2272

I know samplers sometimes have repeating patterns, so here's a fairly simple one. If the Pikachu head seems familiar, it's because it's one of our smilies.

Pps. I really love that startropics one, i'd be happy doing that even though i've never heard of it before. Which gaming platform is it on? The sampler is so good I really want to check the game

Oh, stop it...you're making me blush Lol. Thank you. If you have a Wii/WiiU, StarTropics is on the virtual console. And pretty cheap, if I remember correctly. It's also has a sequel, but I don't like it nearly as much.


Also, I use KG Chart for my patterns. Have to fudge with colors most of the time, but I usually just have my thread out when making a pattern anyway.

I'm so excited for a stitch-a-long! (My first one... eeee!)

My words of wisdom...


Don't forget to save...and save often!

*Bold mine.

Depending on how this goes I may need to add a mini sampler (for my husband) of MeiTow's words of wisdom and starrleys pokemon idea.

This also had to be done. I'm sure everyone will see it coming. I was thinking of making more, with more obscure Pokemon. Maybe bands done by types.

My DH had a random DS shut down after a lazy pokemon playing Sunday. Someone hadn't saved in around 3 hours.

[Aggie Tsubi]

Love the StarTropics and Dr. Mario. I was actually thinking before that those games could make nice bands. You guys are mind-readers.

[QueenBex]

Oh cool yeah my brother has the WiiU, i'll definately check it out!

My laptop died on me, was thinking of getting a new one or saving up for a mac, but thought i'd finally get a pattern maker once I do. Bit nervous about it but I'm sure you will all help me stumble through it!
