I was hoping I could just send off the file and get the whole kit bundled together with a printed fabric pattern, floss of the right colors and a little hoop.
But, I will need to do that myself.
So I might make some extra kits to give as gifts.
Who wouldn't want to contemplate an ant in this way.
The plan* continues!

The fabric used for #crossstitch (if you want a neat grid) is called 'AIDA' I thought there would be a service that would print pattern (*.json or *.oxs files? there seem to be many formats)
This isn't really a thing. Oh yes, they will do it for *photos* but, I think precision printing that lines up with the grid is a challenge.
(Also most pattern designers are more experienced than I am. They seem to just count it out... or they use iron-on patterns which sounds hard.)
I will try counting.

But that is you.
I am very tempted by this. Once I try this little project I'll have a sense of if we could do it.
One thing I can't figure out is how to have everyone involved in the design? Maybe we have each student modify the frame a little ... that could work.
Do you want to design a cross-stitch pattern? This website is neat.
Now to try to figure out how to print this. If it works it could be fun to make different species.
I think I'd like to see how small I can make the patterns. Since I am very lazy and won't complete a big complex project.
There are also sites that will convert photos, but the results look like waaaay too much work to really make.
Creating your own cross stitch chart is very easy with FlossCross. It is possible to import pattern from photo or design it from empty canvas.

Good lord what is in those files that it's THIS bad.
I thought "America World Police" was supposed to be a joke.
I mean it IS a joke what in the whole heck of how is this mess. I'm so pissed off.
I know conservatives hate this kind of take "I'll never apologize for AMERICA" They say.
Thing is... saying that isn't as fun if you know damn well that what your government is doing makes no sense. It's not making YOU safer, or wealthier, or proud of your country. I don't really find the whole "fingers in my ears I love the USA" solution comforting.
It's embarrassing to know that your country is being used by powerful people for their private murderous projects and you can't make it stop.
This class was at a community collage and it met at 7:00am many of my students would show up dressed for work: home depot, starbucks, a few in suits as they had an office job. They impressed me so much.
It was so racist I wasn't even angry just stunned and kind of amused.
The guy really couldn't imagine it. I couldn't possibly exist. Wild stuff.
What are you assuming my answer is?
This reminds me of this guy who thought there was no way I could really be Black on twitter once because I was talking about teaching calc III.
I was gushing about how I love how dedicated my students were, at the time I taught a calc III class. At that time none of my students were white.
This dude is like "that is impossible you aren't really Black"
Is this what you are doing?
Why did this post make you ask if I'm really Black?
During the Iraq war I let people gaslight me into thinking I didn't know enough about "foreign policy" and "global politics" to say the war was a bad idea.
I would hesitate because, I'm not an expert on those things.
But I was right then and I'm right now.
You don't need to be an expert, it's not "so complex and best left to high level people." You know enough to see this makes no sense.
We could halt the suffering caused by addiction so easily. At a fraction of the cost, with a tiny fraction of the attention and effort that has gone into this avarice driven war of choice.
None of these people care at all. Not even enough to do some performative things like IDK visit a recovery clinic and pat the people on the shoulder and say "I feel your pain" or whatever. Can't be bothered to even look.
But that pain will do for an excuse for their war.
No one buys this at all right?
We wouldn't spend a few thousand dollars on housing or rehabilitation ... but we'll sink millions just to keep those poisons from our borders.
Even if it were true it'd still make no damn sense.
Trump and congress care about drug addicts so much that they have gone to war to save them. Wow. There is no other way to keep opioids and the damage they cause out of our communities. We have been backed into a corner. The only solution is bombing the boats they claim are going to ... OK well not to the US... to Jamaica maybe. And maybe the boats didn't have opioids on them ... please don't look too closely this is all to save your wretched cousin from drugs. Because they care so much.
You can think about #sauropod necks for you whole life and never run out of questions to consider.
Here is a good video from a small but great channel.

The more I find humans confusing, frustrating and disappointing ... the more I like ants.
That is how I arrived here.
At least ants are good. At least the ants will survive and thrive someday on this planet.
War is hell.
What is it good for?
Making lots of money*
*not for you LOL. and if you don't agree you hate America.
