Thanks for the input! I usually do the middle and work out color by color, but the sheer scale of this one has me overwhelmed, so I think I'll keep going page by page for this one. I finished the third page! To be fair, it was only a partial page, but this is now the largest cross-stitch I've ever done. And I'm only 5% of the way there.

Now on to Z and e!

Also, to show I haven't been completely single-minded on this project, I cleaned and pressed my last one, and framed another today. For the record, I think my camera is screwed up...that's why the pictures are blurry and at funny angles. It's all the camera. :grin:

This one, I found the pattern for the text on here a while ago, but did the sprites on my own. Even with importing the images into KG Stitch, I was shocked how much time it took to make them look right and reduce the colors in a way that worked. Before playing with it, it was over 80 colors, most for only a few stitches, but this was 13 if I remember correctly. To anyone who spent a lot of time in KG-Stitch to make the epic patterns, my hat is off! (all I did with this was just combine three already-made patterns and simplified the title screen a little)

Oh, and my hubby found the Link's Awakening project that someone else is doing and I won't be surprised if he wants that one next. Ain't happening. Next project after this one is the DotT one on here...All for me!!!

Yay!!!! I finished a fourth page!!!! I've gotten sick of having to take the picture with my camera, email it to myself, download it on the laptop, and upload it to picasa just to be able to conveniently resize the image, so I just gave in and reduced the resolution setting on the phone. That's my excuse for any crappy pictures from here on out.

Since it's in a scroll frame, I'll only show the full thing after I finish each row from here on out, but I'll keep posting page by page like I have been.

WOW! Just, wow! I can't believe how amazing this looks! You're doing fantastic, the dark world is a little hard just by seeing the color design of it, but you can definitely do it! :wiz

Yay!!! Page 6 is done! This was the first time that I really got to watch how things seem to come together as I added the next color only for it to look very different when it was all done (I thought the clouds were all completely wrong and that the forest colors were off) Not to toot my own horn, but it's beginning to really look awesome! Oh, and 12.45% done lol.
