No Yoda this time

It's funny because I'm not a contributing member of society! Ha ha!

Three Days In

Not much to report. I made an executive decision and changed the color of his robe. The automatic online pattern generator I used had it as turquoise. He may have been introduced in 1980, but he's not that bad.

Oh, and I bought an embroidery hoop. Because I wasn't quite cool enough already.

He has a face now

I have to admit, I was a little worried about this yesterday. It certainly didn't look like the Yoda I know. However, it came together nicely when I started willing in the missing colors. My only gripe is that he doesn't seem like a very happy Yoda, but hopefully that will change with time to match the pattern (now pixelated for your convenience):

Another source of problems:

Do these colors look the same to you?
This suggests a fourth and fifth rule:

4. If colorblind, have someone check the colors for you.
5. (see rule 3)

Update The First

I have decided on a final design (above) and purchased my supplies. I was right about the cost: the base fabric, thread, and needles cost $5.08 in total.

And how far have I gotten in over 4 hours of work? I have gotten this far:


So class, what have we learned?

1. Cross stitching takes fucking forever.
2. Maybe choose a simpler design next time?
3. You moron?

I will continue updating until I finish in mid-2015.

Everyone needs a hobby

As I am sure all of you know, I am without gainful employment. While this has afforded me ample time to get in touch with my inner human wasteland, it can be problematic in the field of "not going out of my fucking mind." So, I need a project.

I think I have found one.

Ok, everyone read aloud with me here:

Yoda.

Needlepoint.

!!!

I'll let that one sink in for a minute.

Can you imagine that fucker hanging on the wall of your entryway? Massively dope, my friend. This seems pretty ideal to me. It appeals to my obsessive nature, it's cheap (I hope?), and it's fucking yoda needlepoint. Win win win. I'll keep the blog posted with my progress.

You didn't think I was done with these, did you?

These are little 7x10" mini-posters from Japan. I had no idea this came three-in-one. I am not kidding when I say that that is the most exciting discovery I have made in the past week.
