I have mentioned the IT Crowd before and if you haven’t seen it yet you need to check out the recently released DVD or at least read some of the 1337 subtitles. In honor of the show my wife Beth has cross-stitched a great tribute the IT Crowd using a pattern we made from screen shots of the intro. Hope you enjoy!

What a wonderful blend of crafts and Geeks. Being both a sysadmin and stitcher this is just too cool. Great job Beth.
December 3rd, 2006 at 7:58 amOh, how awesome! It would make the perfect present for a friend! Do you want to share the pattern? *looks hopeful*
December 3rd, 2006 at 9:15 amLove it Beth! I just re-watched The IT Crowd on DVD with my boyfriend, it’s hilarious! As an avid knitter, I appreciate combining geek culture with crafting.

P.S. Can you please post this comment instead of my first one, in which I accidentally listed an incorrect website? Thanks!
December 3rd, 2006 at 9:58 amGreat job, Beth!
Seen on BoingBoing.net

December 3rd, 2006 at 10:11 amAwesome. Is the pattern being shared?
December 3rd, 2006 at 10:34 amif beth wanted to make this into a pattern, she could sell millions. i actually want to buy one! it’s one of the funniest things i’ve ever seen. i would hang it next to the photograph i have (from an ancient macworld) of a great dane with a mac keyboard in its mouth.
December 3rd, 2006 at 11:13 amWhat? Are you from the past?
December 3rd, 2006 at 10:25 pmomg! can you put up a pattern that beginner cross-stitchers could follow? ps. i love the IT crowd
December 3rd, 2006 at 11:00 pmHello everyone!
First, I want to thank each of you for your wonderful comments!
I also wanted to let you know that because I created the cross-stitch using screen shots from the show, my pattern would probably be a little confusing in its current form.
So… since ya’ll liked it so much, I’m going to try and create a more legible pattern that you can use if you’re so inclined. However, I don’t anticipate completing it before the holidays (life being so hectic and all). But, since my husband has your email addresses, we’ll send you updates as to the progress.
Also, this would be for your own personal use. I just don’t think it would be right making money off of someone else’s art, so the product of the pattern should not be sold (but I’m sure you knew that).
Anyway, thank you again, and I hope that you have as much fun with this as I did!
December 4th, 2006 at 1:14 pmPlease add me to the list of people rec’ing updates. What a great pattern! My husband will love it!
December 4th, 2006 at 1:21 pmI’d love to know exactly how you did it - screen shot then Photoshop or did you use a program like MacStitch? Such a wonderful idea!
December 4th, 2006 at 6:24 pmThat’s fantastic, I too can think of a few friends who’d love this. Please add me to the list of people liking a pattern.
Geek Crafts really are the best.

December 5th, 2006 at 11:32 amI love it! Please let me know when there is pattern.
December 5th, 2006 at 8:21 pmI was just about to request the pattern too! Great work. I love the IT crowd, but am inept at making cross stitch patterns. Please keep us posted
December 6th, 2006 at 9:34 amI liked the design so much I had to see what all the fuss was about the show. And then I watched every episode I could get my hands on. Too bad they don’t have it on DVD in the states.
December 6th, 2006 at 2:51 pmWow! That’s fantastic. It’s one of those forehead-slapping “Why Didn’t I Think Of That !?” moments. When you get the pattern up, please let me know.
December 14th, 2006 at 3:12 pmThat’s simply beautiful. Please could I be added to the list of pattern updateds?
December 25th, 2006 at 5:19 amW00t! Simply brilliant! I join the chorus in pleading for a pattern. This is my family’s most re-watched show of all time.
January 9th, 2007 at 8:20 pmAnd here comes a new pattern info request.
Thanks Beth, this is so good looking!
January 15th, 2007 at 1:25 amHiyas,
Only yesterday I felt the sudden urge to cross-stitch something (novice that I am) and took a disappointing stroll through Michaels before realizing there was frankly nothing hip enough to spend my time and eyesight on. How cool to stumble on this beautiful piece of work! (linked from Graham Linehan’s LiveJournal)
This is a very, very cool cross-stitch. Please let me know if you make the pattern available. Thanks a lot
March 8th, 2007 at 5:17 pmHello once again!
My sincerest apologies for taking this long to bring an update to you. Life got way busier than expected, but I now have some time (finally!) to create the pattern for you if you are still interested.
Again, thanks to each of you for your gracious comments.
You’ll be hearing from us soon!
March 9th, 2007 at 4:47 pmBeth, what a great project!!
Please put me on the list to get a pattern. Will you include which colours you used?
This is one of my favourite shows. Fantastic!
March 11th, 2007 at 12:51 pmLove the pattern! I would love a copy if you get a chance. My husband would plotz if I stitched him one!
July 25th, 2007 at 8:15 amThis is really fantastic!
I also would love a copy of the pattern. Any chance you’re sending any out?
Great work!

October 5th, 2007 at 11:30 amHi Beth!
I know you’re getting a lot of these, but may I request a pattern too? My housemates and I want to start having “arts and crafts” nights together and this would be the best thing to join all our interests!
I’ll send you photos of us all if it goes ahead!
Cheers,
Bec

P.S - its great that cross stitch is now seen as “semi-cool” in my hubbies eyes!
June 7th, 2008 at 11:27 amI am just leaving a comment myself to say that everyone that has already commented should have received the pattern. If you have not please let me know by commenting or sending me a email.
June 10th, 2008 at 10:26 am[...] This led to requests for the pattern, which you can get by leaving a comment on my husband’s Web site at: http://1n73r.net/2006/12/02/it-crowd-cross-stitch/. [...]
July 4th, 2008 at 10:50 pmI would like to learn to cross stitch and IT Crowd is the house favorite here! Would you please add my name to the list for getting a pattern? It’s just so perfect!
Thanks so much for your great work!
-Rachel
July 7th, 2008 at 10:39 amIt’s absolutely fabulous! Two great loves of mine - cross stitch / crafting & the IT crowd! I know you’ve probably been inundated with requests for the pattern, but if it’s not too much bother I’d love to have a copy as well.
Cheers,

August 5th, 2008 at 10:16 amHello Beth
The family ( expat in Australia) are big IT crowd fans, my daughter has
a 17th birthday coming and used to do cross stitch
so the perfect combination,
i would be very grateful if you could send the pattern.
thanks

Great job on the cross stitch! Would it be possible to have access to the pattern for this? I would love to dress up my office wall and this would be the perfect project
September 9th, 2008 at 9:06 amHiya, I’m just getting started in the whole crafts thing for the first time in 14 years, and this really caught my eye. Love it, in fact. I was wondering if I may join the pattern grabbing ranks? Pretty please?
But for serious, this is really well done and you should be very proud of it.
September 16th, 2008 at 8:44 pmHey there. I don’t know if you’re still sending it out or if you have posted the pattern somewhere but I would love it if I could.
October 12th, 2008 at 11:47 pmThats so cool. I first came across this comdy when i was at uni, and loved it from the word go. Now i have my BF totally addicted. I would love a copy of the cross stitch pattern as not only am i a great fan, but im a crafty person too!!
Cheers, Sara (down under aussie)
