IT Crowd Cross-stitch

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!

    It’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,

    I 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!

    [...] 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/. [...]

    Hi 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

    Beth, 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!

    Hello 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!

    Hiyas,

    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 :)

  • Jordi says so:

    And here comes a new pattern info request. :) Thanks Beth, this is so good looking!

    W00t! Simply brilliant! I join the chorus in pleading for a pattern. This is my family’s most re-watched show of all time.

  • Jedi_Amara says so:
    December 25th, 2006 |

    That’s simply beautiful. Please could I be added to the list of pattern updateds?

  • Bri says so:
    December 14th, 2006 |

    Wow! 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.

  • kristine says so:

    I 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.

  • Ann says so:
    December 6th, 2006 |

    I 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 :)

  • caitlin says so:
    December 5th, 2006 |

    I love it! Please let me know when there is pattern.

  • Celeste says so:
    December 5th, 2006 |

    That’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.

    I’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!

  • JustKristin says so:
    December 4th, 2006 |

    Please add me to the list of people rec’ing updates. What a great pattern! My husband will love it!

  • Beth says so:
    December 4th, 2006 |

    Hello 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! :)

  • denise says so:
    December 3rd, 2006 |

    if 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.

  • Starla says so:

    Awesome. Is the pattern being shared?

    Love 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!

  • Sandra says so:

    Oh, how awesome! It would make the perfect present for a friend! Do you want to share the pattern? *looks hopeful*

    What a wonderful blend of crafts and Geeks. Being both a sysadmin and stitcher this is just too cool. Great job Beth.
