Dork Stitch

Hello! My post here for tonight is going to be really short, but after getting six or seven requests for the pattern over a period of a year or two, I finally made a sprite pattern of Seifer from Final Fantasy VIII, so hopefully, that makes up for it! I also made a needlessly elaborate pattern of Sorceress Edea, from the same game, which, despite the fact that no one asked for it, ended up being really, really cool. It seems like a good excuse to use gold glitter floss, and I got to add some backstitching for her eyeliner, so I think that it ended up being fairly impressive. For all of you who wanted Seifer's pattern, though, I hope that tonight's post is not a disappointment! (In the preview image, his shirt and ridiculous coat collar blend together a bit too much, but I don't think that will happen when he is actually stitched or beaded.)

I did not have a very good day, and I have to get up early tomorrow, so I am done for today! Tomorrow, I do not know what I'll post, but I will have something. Until then, however, I hope that all of you guys are doing well and have a nice Friday!

Hello! Today is the sixth day of Sprite Patterns December here at Dork Stitch, and even though I'm sure there's something else I should be posting, yesterday got me making characters from Playstation RPGs again, so I have some new Chrono Cross patterns! It's taking me a really long time to make the entire cast, but I am actually starting to feel like I will eventually get them finished. Today, I only have two new ones, though, so it's not a very big chunk of the cast. There are, however, tons of unnecessary details, which is the best part of making RPG characters!

For today, I have patterns of Karsh and Riddel, because their colors match pretty well and that is as good of a reason as any to post them together. I know that the characters are connected beyond that, but I currently have my party wandering around an island, prepared to fight a dragon that I'm pretty sure is actually on a different island, so unless the two of them stop the game to have a big cutscene about how Riddel's family was once on an island, which she then specifically names, and Karsh guarded them from the dragon that I now need to fight on that island, I don't really care. I think that I replaced one of them with the blonde guy who goes underwater and shoots fish with a gun, anyway, so it doesn't matter.

Anyway, now that I have impressed you all with my stunning grasp of what exactly is going on in Chrono Cross, here are today's patterns! Both of them have a lot of different floss colors, but other than that, there's nothing too unusual about them. I hope that you guys like these!

With that finished, I really have no idea what patterns I'll be posting tomorrow, but I'll have something! Thank you for all the nice comments that you guys have been leaving, and have a nice start to your weekends!

Hello! So far today, I haven't worked on patterns at all, so I didn't really know what patterns I was going to post for today before I actually hit the "new post" button. I dug through my folder of sprite patterns, though, and came upon two patterns I did as requests over the summer, when I first got this computer. The biggest problem with them is that I do not remember who requested them or what, exactly, they are from. The two characters are named Catra and Evil-Lyn, and I know that either one of them is from He-Man and the other is from She-Ra, or both of them are from one of the two cartoons. If I remember right, the one with the cat ears is from She-Ra, and the other one is from He-Man, but I could very well be wrong. For now, I will tag this post with both and hope that it is somewhat accurate. I am sure that one of you is ready to correct me in the comments section as you read this, but until then, to whichever of you out there requested these patterns, I hope you like them! Despite my lack of knowledge as to the source material, they were fun to make, and as far as sprite patterns go, it's always fun to get requests that involve giant hair and capes.

After that paragraph of stunning insight, I am finished for today, but will be back with more sprite patterns tomorrow. Hopefully, tomorrow, I will actually know what I am posting!

Hello! It's time for yet another post for Sprite Patterns December, and after going through the patterns that I had ready to post, I thought that maybe it was time to finish posting the set of sprite patterns for Fushigi Yugi that I did this summer. As I've mentioned before, I don't know these characters very well, but they were a lot of fun to make. The outfits were full of unnecessary frills and fabric patterns, and even though the guys all had hairstyles that were challenging, to say the least, I think that they ended up looking okay! Most of the patterns in the set got drawn from the jar and posted over the summer, but three of them still haven't been posted. Those patterns, which will be posted today, are of Hotohori, Chiriko, and Tasuki. All of them are pretty detailed, so they might be a bit of a pain to stitch, but if you guys have been waiting for the end of this set, I hope that you enjoy stitching these! The rest of the set can be found under the Fushigi Yugi tag on the sidebar!

After that, I'm done for today, but I will have more patterns for tomorrow! I did a really big set of Batman patterns as a request last month, have some more Pokemon that I can post, and, as always, have tons of characters from fighting games on reserve, so I have plenty of stuff ready to go. Plus, I'm working on a mini set of patterns that I've been having fun doing that I'll post sometime this week. I've also started a Harry Potter set on request (because that's such a dreadful chore for me), but the only characters directly requested on their own were Ginny and Snape. Those won't be the only two in the set, since that would be like some sort of bizarre fan fiction, but if you guys have any other characters that you'd like to see, you should tell me, because apparently, if those are the top two characters, I am inefficient at predicting who people would like to stitch. There are other requests that I'm working on, too, but since I'm not as puzzled by how they have gone as I am by the whole Harry Potter thing, I don't have that much to say about them yet. As always, if you have any other requests, feel free to leave them in the comments!

Hello! For the last two days, I was working on papers for about 8 hours a day, so today, I am posting early so that I can spend the rest of the day cross stitching tiny Christmas ornaments and watching TV. As I mentioned at the end of yesterday's post, I did a set of Batman patterns as a request and, after e-mailing them to the person that requested them, was saving them to actually post until this month. I posted a few Batman patterns last December or earlier, so if you would like to see the actual main characters, they can be found under the Batman tag on the sidebar. For this month, though, I have a seven pattern continuation of the set that I'll be spreading out over three posts, because I am lazy and want to make it last as long as possible.

For today, I have sprite patterns for Batgirl and Commissioner Gordon, because I know all of you who read my post yesterday were like, "Wow, new Batman patterns? I really hope she posts one of Commissioner Gordon! That would make all my stitching/beading dreams come true!" Really, I just thought it was funny that his pattern came out so well, which is the real reason for the character's spot in the first spot of the set. I picked Batgirl as the other one because I thought they went well together! Stitching-wise, there's nothing unusual about these patterns, so here they are!

Now that I'm really frustrated with Blogger's auto-formatting, I am done for today! I'll have more patterns tomorrow, though, so, until then, have a nice day!

Before all else, I would like to say that whenever I get up and see in my e-mail that people are commenting about Gary Oldman, I feel like I am doing a good job blogging. It was as good as last year's spam comment about Denzel Washington in Flight.

Hello! I am a little late posting tonight, but I still have an hour and a half until midnight, so as far as getting my post done on time goes, I should be fine! For tonight, I wanted to make new patterns of some of the Mario game princesses, since Princess Peach and Princess Daisy were two of the first patterns I made, and it seemed like it would be fun to try again. When I looked back, though, I was still pretty happy with the older patterns, so I decided to make them in different outfits, because it seemed fun. At first, I thought about doing Mario Party patterns, since sometimes Peach gets to wear a safari hat and stuff like that, but I ended up making them in outfits from the different Mario sports games. There was no real criteria for what patterns I made, other than that it seemed like Daisy got to be on the box for the soccer game, so she got that outfit. Peach got her ice skating outfit from the Mario and Sonic Olympic games, because I thought that was cool, and then Rosalina got her motorcycle outfit from Mario Kart, because she's a newer character and didn't have as much to pick from. Anyway, I am going to stitch all of these, because I am a dork, but I hope that you guys enjoy these patterns, too!

That is it for today! I am not totally sure what I will post tomorrow or when I will post it, but if I do not have something, I will have failed! Until then, have a nice day and good luck with your crafts!

Hello! I am getting to the point in the semester where I look at my grades, see that one hasn't been entered yet, and figure my grades to reassure myself that, even if the professor hates my assignment so much that she gives me a zero on it, I will still do well in the class. I know that this is insane, because on every other assignment that I have handed in, I have gotten an A, so it is illogical to think that I will get no points on the last one, but even if I do, I will apparently be okay. Once I did that, though, I decided to e-mail in my partial draft for a paper in my other class a few hours earlier than I had to and take a break from homework for a little bit. I still have class tonight, but since it's the one where my final presentation is finished, all I have to do is sit back, eat snacks, and watch other people suffer through their own presentations.

Because my class is three and a half hours long and I want to watch American Horror Story when it is over, I am doing my posting for today in the afternoon! I wasn't sure what patterns to post, so I am going to just post the next two charts in the Batman set, since those seem to have gone over well. For today, out of the five that I have left, I guess that I'll post the Riddler and Two-Face, since those two characters were both in Batman Forever, and that's as good a connection as any. These sprite patterns are based on the 90s cartoon of Batman, so if you are expecting some realistic melted-off face details, I am quite sorry to disappoint you. If you came to this blog today with the hopes of getting a pattern of a lunatic in a bowler hat, though, I am glad to have helped make your day better.

Of the last three patterns in the Batman set, I think that at least two of them should be pretty easy to guess. The third character is not one that I would have included unless he'd been requested, but that's more because I wouldn't have thought about it rather than because of any burning animosity toward the character. To be honest, I don't know that much about Batman, so in the comics, this character could have gone nuts and killed a bunch of people for no reason, but he seemed okay on Teen Titans, so there you go.

I think that I am done posting for today, and am probably going to make some more patterns. I don't know what they will be yet, but it should be fun, and I look forward to doing a new post tomorrow!

Hello! Welcome to day 12 of Sprite Patterns December here at Dork Stitch! I just got back from Wal-Mart, and it was horrible. One of my roommates wanted to buy a suitcase, but after she grabbed a broken one, the employees were really rude to her for an extended period of time, and while I was waiting, I saw a little girl call her mom a huge list of creative, but horrible names, for not letting her spend more than six dollars on her food at McDonalds, all while random metal shelving units on wheels were just stuck in the middle of the grocery aisles. It was a beautiful holiday wonderland. I shouldn't have to go back there for the rest of the semester, though, so I guess that's okay.

Anyway, for today, I'm posting a few more of the patterns that I made from Blazblue, because now that there's an anime based on it and I got a request for a character, I feel like it is slightly less irrelevant. I was going to go on a crazy person rant about the anime and how little sense it makes, but then I was informed that when I played video games about running clothing stores, I was setting back women's rights an entire generation, which, despite the large amount of power that it granted me, displaced that rant, and then I went to Wal-Mart, which in turn displaced that rant.

I would like to warn you after re-reading my post that this next paragraph contains some very vague spoilers, so if you intend to start watching Blazblue: Alter Memory, or have started watching it and thought, "Wow! This is so much better than I thought it would be! I'm nowhere near as disappointed in this as I was in the King of Fighters movie that's on Netflix!" then skip this paragraph, because my words can not convince you how far off the rails this anime is going to go. As I feel that the only audience for that statement may have been me last month, this may not be a relevant warning.

Because of that, I am just going to post these Blazblue patterns without saying too much about the fact that if someone rises to a high rank in an organization, but is, in fact, a crazed, maybe immortal (I'm not sure about that), supervillain, and also one of the secretaries of this organization seems to be an all-powerful robot, someone other than a teenage girl who for some reason has a squirrel tail should, at some point, probably notice this. Also, I feel like someone has to mention that if an assassin is really upset that her best friend from school has an office job with a boy she likes, but also, that friend is a robot clone of his sister, maybe that should do something to lessen the blow. (I actually don't know if the assassin knows this, but I feel like someone should tell her if she doesn't. It could save everyone a lot of trouble.)

I should probably just quit watching Blazblue, but I feel like, with only two episodes left, I've come too far to stop now. I know that at the end, I will be even more irritated than I was at the end of Under the Dome, where the creators promised a full ending to the story, then got a second season and ended it on a cliffhanger, but at the same time, I also know that whatever happens, I probably will not have predicted it, and it can't be as bad as the VHS of board meetings that ended the OAV for Irresponsible Captain Tylor, which I watched earlier this week.

Anyway, after you read all of that joyous text, I'm sure that those of you who care are looking for the actual Blazblue patterns instead of my complaining about a cartoon based on the game. For today, I have patterns of Ragna, the main character that I never play as, Jin, his screaming psychopath brother, and Arakune, the weird bug guy that looks like the Noh face from Spirited Away. My railing against the anime aside, these patterns are really complicated, so they're fun to make, and I still enjoy the games, so I will definitely keep working on this set of patterns. I have Hazama done, but not on a formatted chart, and I still have a lot of fluffy, frilly characters to make, so they will be coming up before too long. For now, though, enjoy these patterns!

I found a fourth finished and charted pattern in the set that I hadn't posted yet while I was uploading these, but, despite the fact that it is of is a popular character, I think that I will save him for another post.

For today, I am done, but tomorrow, I think that I will have some stuff that was requested to post for you guys. Until then, have a nice night and good luck if you have to go shopping!

Hello! Originally, I was going to do this post a little later tonight, after I'd gone to the on-campus movie, but it's snowing a lot, so we lost cable TV and I'm worried internet could go, too, so I'm posting now! I saw them putting salt out when I was preemptively shoveling off my car, so I at least will not break my limbs in an attempt to watch mediocre sci-fi, but apparently, our TV was hanging by a thread to start with, so this did it in.

Anyway, for today, I have the start of the Harry Potter set of sprite patterns! I've wanted to make these for quite a while, but, sadly, really only actually started making them because I've been wasting a lot of time playing Lego Harry Potter on my DS. I have gotten tons of character requests now, which is really cool, and I was able to make a few of them this afternoon! In today's post, though, I'm posting the two characters that were requested ahead of my asking you guys about this, which are Ginny Weasley and Severus Snape. I think that both of these patterns ended up being nice enough, and, in fact, Tama over at Stitching Daze already stitched Snape, either because she got the pattern early using mysterious secret evil magic or because I e-mailed it to her, so I know that at least one of them stitches up well! Actually, with Snape, the preview image on the pattern does not look quite like it should, but, if you follow the color key, he won't have the same weird blue look that he does on the pattern. 939 is a lot closer to black than the preview images will generate for it, but, if you still aren't happy with that, 3799 is a dark gray that could work pretty well, too. I really have nothing to say about Ginny's pattern, so here are today's cross stitch charts!

That's all the stuff that I have for today, but I will have some more patterns for you guys tomorrow! I'm not sure which ones I'll post yet, but I have plenty of stuff ready to go in case I get totally stuck. Have a good start to your weekend and good luck with whatever crafts you're doing!

Hello! After yesterday, which was full of club meetings and movies, campus is really quiet today. Stuff's been getting cancelled because the weather is still not good, and a lot of people are either gone or just staying inside, so there is a suspicious lack of noise. I got a lot of work done on my big paper, which is good, but now that I'm sick of that, it's time for posting to this blog, followed by stuff that's even less useful!

For today, I have a pattern to post that I really like, but that I am well aware will not be as well received as yesterday's Harry Potter patterns. A few days ago, it was really loud here, and I thought, "Oh! It would be so cool if I made a really big sprite pattern of a giant robot!" The problem with that was that it was really late and I was unable to draw pixels that matched that ambition. I did, however, realize that with all the patterns I've made for Robotech characters, I had not yet made the barely indistinguishable from each other girls that work on the ship in Macross, so I kind of set about doing that. I shut off my computer fairly quickly after deciding to do that, but when I got up in the morning, I had one of the girls done, a moustache and top hat drawn on a generic girl, and the words "Please be quiet, I don't like you" typed in comic sans in a bubble coming out of the old time-y gentleman girl's mouth, directed at the noisy person. Before I'd gone to bed, that had been really funny, but after I had finished my breakfast, it was just kind of confusing. Being more awake, though, it seemed like it could be a good idea to make all three of the bridge girls in the same pattern, so I decided to try that.

After doing a bunch of homework and other stuff like that, it ended up being late again by the time I actually got to work on my pattern. This time, however, I managed to be much more productive and managed to actually finish my oversized pattern of minor characters from an old anime that I know only a few of you are interested in! It was really fun to make this pattern, though, and I think that using the different poses worked well. Plus, whenever I do patterns of characters from 80s cartoons, no matter what country they're from, I have to make the heads a pixel taller, because everyone has such puffy hair, which is funny.

Anyway, from left to right, the characters in this pattern are named Sammie, Kim, and Vanessa, which I just had to look up in order to tell you. Other than the fact that there's three of them, there's nothing very out of the ordinary about this pattern. The color key looks like it's way out of hand, but that's more because of the number of characters than anything else, so it should not be a problem if you would like to stitch this. I'm sure that I will at some point, so I hope that some of you guys like this pattern, too!

That is pretty much all I have for today, but tomorrow, I think that I will probably finish off the set of Batman patterns! Until then, have a nice day and enjoy your weekend!

Hello! Today, I am feeling sort of out of it, so this post will not be very long. As I brought up at the end of yesterday's post, however, I do have the rest of the requested Batman set for you guys! I said before that I thought two out of the three characters were pretty easy to guess, and the ones I was referring to in that case were Catwoman and Poison Ivy. The pattern for Catwoman was a lot more difficult than I thought it would be, and I'm not sure how well I like it, but no one that I've shown it to has been disappointed, so I might just be too picky. I think Poison Ivy turned out well, but by this point, if I hadn't figured out how to make a sprite pattern with big hair and elaborate footwear, I'd be screwed in terms of most of the requests you guys make. The last of the three characters in the set is Nightwing, who I am not ashamed to admit I saw in the list and thought, "Oh, from that episode of Teen Titans where Starfire goes to the future and she's all like, 'Robin!' and he's like, 'No. Robin is dead. I'm Nightwing.'?" (This episode may not have gone quite as I remember it going.) I realize that upon reading that, there are some people who are probably kind of horrified, but Nightwing is not in the 90s Batman cartoon, and he had all his stuff done with before Batman Beyond started, so that effectively leaves him out of my zone of knowledge. The pattern was fun to make, though, and I think it ended up looking cool. Anyway, before I get distracted and go make a set of Teen Titans patterns, here are today's cross stitch patterns, finishing up the Batman set!

I am done blogging for today, but will have new sprite patterns tomorrow! Farewell, and have a nice evening!

Hello! Earlier tonight, I saw that another blogger, Kakashi-copycat-kun, had done almost all of the Final Fantasy VIII sprite patterns as perler beads, and got all excited about that and wanted to make more patterns for the set for tonight. However, after seeing what time it was (getting gum off of your car really eats up more time than you'd realize), it seems like a more reasonable goal to have new patterns in the set tomorrow night. I can think of six more characters to make without stretching things too far, so I'm looking forward to making those patterns. For tonight, however, I have some requested Pokemon sprite patterns that were difficult to make, very different from the standard sprite patterns, and, hopefully, came out really well! I posted the Lilligant from this set already, so for tonight, I'm going to post, oh, let's say Lucario and Vespiquen. All of the requested Pokemon were pretty much shaped like people, which was helpful when making this set, but they still took a lot of work that I think was worth it in the end. They're a little bigger than standard sprite patterns, but that'll just make it even cooler when they're towering over the rest of your sprites! Anyway, I hope that you guys like these!

I am done posting for tonight, and headed off to play stupid games on Facebook and make more sprites! I actually don't feel stressed out about my final paper at all right now, which is good, even if it may be misguided, so it'll be fun to make some new patterns. Anyway, I will have a new post tomorrow, so, until then, have a nice day!

Hello! I probably should have posted sooner than I actually am today, because I am tired and my brain is mush, but I spent a really long time editing and proofreading my paper today, then flew across the sidewalk and fell when I went across campus to get coffee (but there was no gum on my car today!) and then my cable wasn't working, so I watched a DVD of the Tekken movie, Blood Vengeance, that came out last year and had been sitting on my bookshelf all semester. I am not sure why a video game company would hire one of the guys who wrote for Cowboy Bebop to make an anime about cheerful high school girls and friendship based on their video game about kicking people, and then have the whole thing end in a 20 minute fight between three characters who were not in the movie for the first 70 minutes, but after researching this movie online, it seems that I am in opposition to most people who saw this movie about what the watchable part was. Then again, I do not have anything against movies with "girls yakking their heads off" (this is an actual quote from an IMDB review), though I did get a little impatient when everyone started screaming about the bowels of hell and being on fire, and then when it had pretty much the same ending as the first Pokemon movie, but with more robots and maybe it was about the environment, too, I was just kind of confused. It wasn't good, but it wasn't boring or homework, so I guess that's what matters.

Anyway, like I was saying last night, I made a couple of new Final Fantasy VIII patterns after seeing that someone had almost finished making the set! I've actually played the game, so I didn't need to beg for character requests like I have with other things, but I did end up making Raijin and Fujin, two fairly minor characters. They reminded me of Solt and Pepper from Chrono Cross, but less old time-y and maybe a little more competent, so I thought it would be fun to have patterns of them. I think that these patterns came out well and will probably make them, so I hope you guys like them, too!

I think that I'm almost done with sprite patterns from FFVIII now, so I can move onto IX soon, which seems like it will be difficult, but fun. I still have to make the dream world characters, but I think that's just four more, so I might have that before the end of the month.

Anyway, this is all that I have for now, but I will have yet another blog post tomorrow! I have no idea what sprite patterns it will contain, but hopefully, I will pick some before I start posting. Until then, have a nice day!

Hello! I finished the paper that I've been talking about in here and get to leave school for Christmas break tomorrow, so tonight, I'm doing my blog post before the school cafeteria starts handing out free French toast. They're having other breakfast foods, too, which is nice, but I want the French toast more than the other things, so that is my primary focus.

Anyway, today, I'm going to be using this post to put up a few single character patterns. There's three two requested patterns in today's post- one of them, featuring Haruko from FLCL, that I think will eventually be part of a larger set, and another, Huntress from Dungeon Defenders, that I had forgotten about and had to look up the video game that she was from. The third character for today is Kairi from Kingdom Hearts, and since the request for her wasn't very specific, I actually have two more patterns of her in different outfits that I'll post in the future. I don't know very much about Kingdom Hearts, so I didn't know if any of the outfits would mean anything to fans of the games. They were fun to make, though, so I hope that today's version of her, the only pink one, is suitable for whoever originally requested her!

I am bad at focusing today, so this is all that I am going to post for now! I'll be back tomorrow with more nonsense and patterns, though, so until then, have a nice day!

Hello! Today, my post isn't going to be very long. I got home from school for winter break, and my mom gave me a bag of the little rubber bands that you use to make bracelets! I went to the Lion Brand website, and it told me how to make my weaving/knitting loom into a rubber band bracelet loom, started trying to make the bracelets, and then eventually realized that every junior high girl in the country is smarter than I am. I panicked over writing my giant paper, but it was still easier than making these bracelets are. I am not quitting until I successfully have a tiny rubber band bracelet, though, so I am doing my blog post now and going back to the project!

For today, I have two sprite patterns for you guys of Newt and Herman, the scientists from Pacific Rim! I stitched these two as standees this summer, and have had them in my dorm room all semester, next to a figurine of a kaiju and under my stitching of the Pan Pacific Defense Corps logo, which is now next to a mini-poster for the movie, thanks to my family grabbing it for me from a theater's lobby. I realize that not all of you have this level of enthusiasm for Pacific Rim, which is probably good for society, but I still think that these are good patterns! Newt takes a bit of backstitching, but other than that, there's nothing unusual about them. Usually, I would type that I hope that you guys like these, but today, I like them, so I don't care what you guys think. Today you are at my pattern-posting mercy.

With that done, I am finished posting for today, but I'll have some new patterns tomorrow! I have some new Harry Potter ones to post, and got Ami's request for the Kingdom Hearts characters yesterday, so I'll be working on those along with some more FFVIII stuff! I'm also working on some stuff from anime that I've been watching this semester, so if you're looking forward to some patterns of characters from old OAVs that everyone hates, you're in luck! For now, I'm off to keep trying to make the rubber band bracelets, so wish me luck! If I succeed, I might have photos tomorrow.

Hello! I am not as enthusiastic as I usually am today, but I do have some new Harry Potter patterns! Today's cast members are Harry, Ron, and Hermione, because no matter how many minor characters get requested, I still want to have the main characters included in the set. Because I was paying too much attention, all of them have slightly different school uniforms, but I kept the color scheme the same for all of them. Other than that, there's nothing too unusual about these patterns, so I hope that you guys enjoy stitching them!

I am done for today, but will have some more patterns and stuff tomorrow. Until then, have a nice start to your weekend!

Hello! This afternoon, I've been working on some new patterns, mostly featuring my party members in Marvel: Avengers Assemble, a dumb Facebook game that I keep playing, so if you guys are really excited to eventually see some patterns of comic book characters that really aren't all that popular, sometime soon, I will have quite the post for you. I'm getting really frustrated with my computer today, though, and, whether its accurate or not, am blaming Windows 8 for most of the problems, so rather than sit and glare at my mouse for another hour, I am going to post some stuff that I already got charted!

Today, I have a couple more requested Pokemon patterns, from the same set as the Lucario and Vespiquen patterns that I posted earlier this week. These patterns, however, featuring Lopunny and Gardevoir, are notably sassier. I actually think that, despite the fact that they are disproportionately larger than most of my sprite patterns, these two came out really well. They don't require any backstitching or anything like that, but they have plenty of detail and, hopefully, look like the in-game/on TV Pokemon while still being in the same style as the other sprite patterns. I haven't made these yet, but someday, I do plan to stitch all of these Pokemon patterns, and hopefully make a few more of them, too. For now, though, here are today's patterns!

I am done posting for today, but tomorrow, I shall have more patterns! Good luck with whatever weather you might be having and have a nice rest of your Saturday!

Hello! Tonight, I want to make some patterns, but I have to actually do a post first, so I'm posting the next few charts in my Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves set! I know that very few of you are actually excited about this, but I am fond of this set, and am going to work on some requested stuff and the patterns for the Christmas post after I am done here. Plus, I know from comments and e-mails that I am not the only person who wants to cross stitch characters from SNK fighting games, so that makes this less of a futile endeavor! Anyway, for today, I have patterns of Terry Bogard, in his inferior brown coat and no hat outfit that was nevertheless necessary to finish this set, followed by B. Jenet, who I made a bad pattern of years ago, leading to this spiffy redone one, and Hokutomaru, who I don't have much to say about. There's nothing too fancy about any of these patterns, but I hope that those of you who have been following this set enjoy them! There's still a few of them left to go!

I just got a message saying that I got an A on the paper I kept typing out, and though I have no reason to talk about that here, I complained about it enough on here that I feel like you guys deserved an update! With that said, I'm done for today, but I'm going to get off of this blog and work on some oft-requested patterns for the Christmas post! I'm betting that a few of you have guessed what the subject of the holiday patterns will be, since I pretty much just told someone what I was doing earlier in the month. I should have some cool stuff in the next two days, too, so until then, have a nice evening!

Hello! Today, my head is so stuffed up that I feel like it could float away! Because of that, I'm going to use this post to just put a few odds and ends from my sprite-patterns-to-post folder, which should be fun. Today's first pattern is of Princess Zelda, in her dress from Ocarina of Time. Eventually, I'd like to have a lot of different sprite patterns of Princess Zelda, but so far, I only have this one and the version of her from A Link to the Past. They're pretty different, though, so I don't feel like it's a waste to post both of them! Are there any versions of Zelda in particular that you guys would like to see?

Since I'm feeling all princess-y now, I also have a pattern of Princess Alis, from the first Phantasy Star game. I thought that it would be funny to make a character from the first game in the style of the sprites from the second for quite a while, but only got around to actually doing this last month. I think that it came out well, though, and that it goes nicely with Princess Zelda, too. I really want to stitch this, but haven't gotten around to it yet, though I'm sure it'll work out well when I do!

I feel like I should have some sort of requested chart in this post, so I'll use today's last spot to finish up the Danny Phantom set! The last pattern is of a girl named Sam, and I think that she's one of Danny's friends, from stuff I saw when I was working on these patterns. I like this pattern, though, especially the highlights in her hair, even if I'm not totally sure who it is, so I hope that you guys like it, too, or, at the very least, that it looks like the character!

For now, I am done posting and off to play stupid Facebook games, but I will have more stuff tomorrow! Until then, have a nice evening and a good start to Christmas Eve!

Hello! Today I opened my paint and cross stitch pattern making programs to work on my post for tomorrow and realized that I was planning to post seven patterns tomorrow, four of which I hadn't even started, and an eighth one that I was considering, but not sure if I could finish it in time. I am still planning all of these patterns, and will be posting five of them tomorrow, unless my computer explodes and my hands fall off. For today's post, however, I think that I'm going to get my pre-planned Doctor Who patterns extravaganza (though for an extravaganza, it's a little underwhelming) started with two patterns of some of the bad guys and a third pattern that I found sitting around in my still-to-post folder!

For the past year or so, I think that the sprite patterns requested most often have been Daleks and Cybermen. Since I wanted to have those patterns, too, it was no problem, but with the Doctor Who Christmas special, I wanted to wait until Christmas to post them. I didn't quite make it for these two, but Christmas Eve seems like as good a day to post patterns of creatures set on destroying humanity as any. The Cyberman pattern was horrible to make, and when I first made it on Sunday, I think (Bob's Burgers was on when I was working on it), I decided that I was going to file it away and never look at it again. Today, though, I despise it much less, so I'll post it. I really like the Dalek pattern, though, so I'm not reluctant to post that at all. These are both a little more complicated than most sprite patterns, so, especially with the Dalek, the color key may actually be a relevant detail. I'm still probably going to grab random colors and hope for the best, but since a lot of you reading this are more precise than I am, I wanted to say something about that. Anyway, here are today's shiny new patterns!

For today's last pattern, I found a pattern of Clara from last year's Christmas special, in her fancy 19th century clothing, that seems worth posting! It's just an alternate outfit for a pre-existing pattern, so I didn't want to give her a special post, but I like this pattern. Hopefully, it will be useful to you guys, too!

I am done with today's post, but am leaving here to work on the sprite patterns for tomorrow! It'll be more Doctor Who stuff for Christmas, which I'm not sure is a surprise to anyone, but I'm having fun working on these patterns. Until then, have a nice Christmas Eve if you celebrate it, and a lovely Tuesday evening or any other holiday that might be occurring if you don't!
