Sausage needlepoint (from BurgerTime)

I’m trying something a little new. Inspired by the beauty of OneChordWonder’s video game needlepoints I’ve decided to give them a shot. Thankfully, she’d provided a helpful tutorial to steer me on the correct path. Here you see my very first attempt, which didn’t turn out too badly.

I chose the Sausage from BurgerTime, the classic arcade game about dropping pieces of hamburger down stairs. I haven’t seen a glut of BurgerTime related crafts and it’s just about the weirdest damned game ever made. He’s a bit duller than I’d like, and I’m not so sure about that gray, but other than that I’m quite pleased. I’d planned to do the Pickle and the Egg, but now I’m not so sure I care.

Needlepoint is a bit different than cross stitch. It uses the same thread, but a whole different batch of stitches. Also, it’s done on plastic canvas rather than fabric.
