The answer is non of the above or even closely related to the above. need help with this one and ASAP....

Little threads are all it takes

Garrett (who allegedly resumed blogging this week) has kindly directed me to a new blog for video game stitchery, Sprite Stitch, which displays some cleverly conceived and skillfully executed work, including Space Invaders and those shirtless men from Contra, with the indispensable Konami code.

Space Invaders by Cross-stitch ninja. Most ninjas can merely assassinate you and creep away into a bamboo forest with making any noise; this one I will not mess with.

Back here, I've posted my 8-bit Nintendo embroidery twice: Link brandishing his wooden sword, with other remnants from my circulation desk days, and six classic Final Fantasy characters, pre-Temple of Ordeal growth spurt. (The latter got me an indierock hug at TT's.) I have since moved on to making miis of political figures and silent movie stars, but I am pleased to see that others are keeping the traditional handicrafts of our people alive.

Thank you! I really enjoyed making that cross stitch, and it's great to see that it's appreciated by others too.
