Yeah, alright, so the holidays make me want to do needlework...

Sue me. It's the last one. Here's your cross stitch TARDIS.



I'm done now, honest.

These are all beautiful.

I'd love to convert these to knitting grids, which are like cross-stitch only the boxes are wider than they are tall (generally around 1.4 wide to 1 tall), but I do not have Photoshop. So it'd have to be by hand.

Also I am stuck on a runway.

:( Sorry about the runway.

How many colours can one conceivably knit with, though? (Me: One. But that's just me.)

There's a little something called duplicate stitch, that's essentially cross-stitch on knitted fabric. I don't know if I'd dare all these patterns with intarsia or stranded colorwork, although it doesn't look like you've used all that many colors, maybe 5 or 6? That'd be doable, although a little fiddly.

You could easily forego the two blue accent colours and replace them with the main blue or black where appropriate. I think if I were doing a knitting pattern, I'd outline the whole thing in black like a drawing. But I reckon I could do a pattern in just black, blue and white.

Those are totally awesome. I think I'm going to have to learn how to cross stitch.

Are you on Ravelry? I swear I saw a TARDIS blanket there once, where the panels were done in different stitches rather than color changes. *pulls out own Gromit icon*

I used to love to do needlepoint and cross stitch. Unfortunately, rowdy pussycats and thread do not go well together. They are lovely though.

OMG I LOVE YOU. ::nabs::

That is rather cool ,and something I can actually cross stitch.

And it's only three shades of blue, a light grey, black and white, so it won't break the bank if you're not the type who has 500 shades of DMC in the house. Go for it!
(In spite of my protestations to the contrary, I'm actually quite taken with this TARDIS and might embroider it next week to see what it looks like.)

Very cool! Looks like I have new projects for next year. I may just make matching (small) throw pillows out of the new skool/ old skool Daleks.
