Things I Have Learnt Since Thursday

[anonymityblaize]

So, lessons learnt since posting my Inception cross stitch o' doom:

1.) I need to learn to pick better preview images of crafts projects - the number of people who commented to say they initially thought it was just a print of the poster or something implies to me that some people might have scrolled on by never noticing it was made of cross stitch. Which is oddly complimentary but simultaneously frustrating!

2.) Apparently I'm a really fast cross stitcher. This is a revelation given that I was the worst and the slowest at everything in home ec classes at school. I totally Britta'ed that subject. Just a late bloomer when it came to crafts and such, I suppose.

3.) If I don't pay attention I will type "thabks" rather than "thanks" every single time. Every. Single. Damn. Time.

4.) Cross stitch pattern programs are evil. Why does each program need its own file type thus making all of them incompatible with each other? Because they are bastards, that's why. I kinda knew this already but reason #5 made me face this again...

5.) At least two people out there are foolhardy brave enough to want to try this for themselves, which is always very exciting to me. So exciting that I don't even mind doing battle with technology to get something shareable! So here, have a pattern. Do with it as you will, but credit or a link back here would be appreciated, and I'd love to see the results if anyone does stitch it!

My girlfriend walked past, looked at my screen and was like, huh, Inception poster, cool, can we get one of those? And then she looked closer and was like HOLY WHOA. And you are seriously fast, or at least compared to me - but perhaps that's just because I get very distracted when I sew!
Aaaaaaah, if I may, I will gank this pattern from you and sew/credit when it's all done :D. I don't suppose you have a black and white pattern, do you? I like to colour in the squares as I go, but if you don't that's okay :D

I have absolutely no idea how to cross stitch but I want to learn just to be able to make this because it's that awesome. Plus then I could potentially stitch other things like scenes from Labyrinth. :x (Because I totally need more Labyrinth memorabilia cluttering up my surfaces.)
