A-H (8/36) they all scan. Qrafter is the best free iPhone app I've found for scanning QR codes. I was thinking of making a mini gif-set tutorial for some of the more complicated woven stitches (such as the big squares on E and H), if anyone would be interested.

Added casalguidi stitch - easy, but time consuming. As with 90% of embroidery. Not sure I'm entirely happy with the colours in it, but oh well. Think next time I might try smaller stem stitches with it, too.

Finished.

I couldn’t work on the Iliad this morning due to lack of working phone to take a picture with, so I worked on this instead.

It took hours longer than cross-stitch, but I like it.

Irritatingly, though, the QR reader app on my phone can’t read this one; and if it cant be read, i’ll have to undo it and rework it until t can. Though I’m given to believe the app I have is rather crap so I’ll try a few more out before undoing those hours of work. (And if anyone else has a QR app please feel free to try reading it and let me know if you have any luck)

Edit: my partner's QR android app can read it just fine, and that's good enough for me. Yay for not having to undo work.

This is something I made a few months ago now, whilst procrastinating and avoiding other projects. I guess it's a combination of my Iliad project, and another piece I was working on - The Text Gazes Back (of which there are photos on my website: www.theclassicist.co.uk).

It's the emotional states of characters throughout book one, represented by emoticons. Every row represents a different scene.
