The cross-stitch I've been working on of Conrad.

He's about 8"x8" or 100x100 stitches on 14-count AIDA fabric. I use DMC brand embroidery floss.

I'm not positive how long this took; I estimate based on how much TV I watched while stitching, and worked through Law and Order: SVU and a chunk of NCIS, but I've been doing other crafts as well. I worked off and on for a couple months, heh. The picture is about the best I can do, but doesn't do justice to his neck area, which is shaded similarly to the veining under his eye.

A while back, I made a journal about making kits for Hanna-themed counted cross-stitch. Since then, I've made another journal with more precise details. I'm willing to at least try and turn any image into a pattern and then ship out the materials needed to make it, if anyone would be interested in compensating me for the service.

Conrad Achenleck is from the webcomic Hanna is Not a Boy's Name, by the marvelous :iconvert-is-ninja:

So I'm kind of really late to the punch here, and I dunno how much you come on here any more, but I would just like to say that this is AWESOME, and that you are a super-genius cross-stitching goddess lady. Soyeah. :D

Thanks~

I was definitely trying to find shots that were really characteristic of the character, and I think this sort of. Repulsed expression is really good for Conrad.
