A cross stitch pattern for one of my favorite panels from Matt Fraction’s Hawkeye! See the finished product here. It ended up being 8” x 8” on 14 count aida. I split floss skeins in half and used three threads for all of the stitching. These are the DMC color numbers that I used, but feel free to look for better matches if you don’t like them. I needed two black skeins, and one of everything else.

White

Black- 310 

Purple- 340

Shirt Blue- 3768

Pants Blue- I kinda forgot to check the number before tossing out the wrapper, I’M SO SORRY!

Bow- 610

Skin- 842

Hair- 744

I would suggest doing the black outlines from the bottom photo first, because then it’s basically just coloring inside the lines. I’m gonna be honest, the stitched details (especially the face) were kind of a pain in the ass, and I mostly improvised while looking at the actual image from the comic. I used three strands for the details, except the bowstring and arrow, for which I used the whole piece of floss. You can either click on the pictures to enlarge them, or right click and save them to print them out. Good luck!

This is the project I’ve been working on since mid-June. It’s not quite done, there are some details and some flourishes I plan on adding but this is the bulk of the project. I’m so excited to be able to share this with people now

Former NFL player Rosey Grier liked needlepoint.  He wrote a book about it in 1973. (via Dangerous Minds)

i did a series of cross stitch commissions, in return for donations to project tiara, and here are the results. such a fun project for me! coming up with the patterns let me try my hand at mixing cross stitch fonts, and let me used some crazy or old-fashioned patterns that i never would have had an opportunity to use. if you want a quote or a song lyric stitched up, hit me up on twitter!
