myrmepropagandistDo you want to design a cross-stitch pattern? This website is neat.
Now to try to figure out how to print this. If it works it could be fun to make different species.
I think I'd like to see how small I can make the patterns. Since I am very lazy and won't complete a big complex project.
There are also sites that will convert photos, but the results look like waaaay too much work to really make.

myrmepropagandistThe fabric used for #crossstitch (if you want a neat grid) is called 'AIDA' I thought there would be a service that would print pattern (*.json or *.oxs files? there seem to be many formats)
This isn't really a thing. Oh yes, they will do it for photos but, I think precision printing that lines up with the grid is a challenge.
(Also most pattern designers are more experienced than I am. They seem to just count it out... or they use iron-on patterns which sounds hard.)
I will try counting.
myrmepropagandistI was hoping I could just send off the file and get the whole kit bundled together with a printed fabric pattern, floss of the right colors and a little hoop.
But, I will need to do that myself.
So I might make some extra kits to give as gifts.
Who wouldn't want to contemplate an ant in this way.
The plan* continues!
