The completed test stitch for the pattern "BioShock Choices" by Knotty Hag on Etsy is now showing in her shop.

March 2021 I.H.S.W.

IHSW or International Hermit and Stitch Weekend begins on the third Friday of the month.  It's a chance to lock yourself away and focus on your stitching for the weekend.  You can take part on your blog or via the Facebook page - IHSW on Facebook.

As I work weekends, I don't get to lock myself away to stitch for three days but catch some time each evening before bed.  This month I'm trying to finish up the test stitch I've been working on that I've named "Test Stitch Bio" as it's based on a video game series called "BioShock".

Here is the starting point on Friday, March 19, 2021...

And here is the stopping point late Sunday, March 21, 2021...900 stitches later.  

I know the image on the right side of the words is difficult to decipher, especially if you don't know the video game (like myself), but my son reliably informs me this is a character from the video game series called "Big Daddies" which are:

"Big Daddies (Mr. Bubbles to the Little Sisters) are 

heavily spliced (genetically mutated and altered) human 

beings whose skin and organs have been grafted into 

antiqued, heavily armored atmospheric diving suits." 

[According to Wikipedia] 

 

Hopefully, I can finish it this week and we'll be on to another pattern for next month's IHSW!!

Slainte Mhuth!!  Cheers!
