I said the other day I don't do counted-cross-stitch, because I get off-chart and mess it up, and picking out stitches makes it all messy and ugly (or at least, in my experience it did).
But now, the samplers seen at The Steotch (courtesy the Dustbury twitter stream) almost make me wish I did.
My favorite is The Astley, but I also like the Bless this House one.
(N.B., gentle readers: some have rude words.)
Then again, I can't quite see spending months of time (which is what it would be for me - months or perhaps even years) on an elaborate joke that would probably be seen as passe by the time I had the sampler done. (Then again: I did embroider a pillow with "I Can Has Cheezburger" and a cat head on it...)
