Wow you all! I never expected this to be so popular! Thanks so much for all the kind words <3
First, I see a lot of people don't know Zork! It's a text based adventure game, released in 1977. You can give it a try here, and I highly suggest drawing your own map ;D
Second, I did this with DMC E940 glow in the dark thread. It's a little finicky to work with, and I think better alternatives exist if you look for them, but this is what I had access to and I think it worked out great (and blends in very well to DMC Blanc)
Third, I do not currently have the pattern for sale, but because there's been so much love I am seriously considering cleaning up the pattern and listing it somewhere. If I do, I'll add a link to this post and probably on my pinned post as well.
Fourth, cross stitch is fairly easy to learn and cheap to try and there are toooonnnsss of youtube tutorials to get you started. If it looks interesting to you, pick up a kit at your local craft store and give it a try! If you want any tips or help, hmu with a message!
