I love this pattern and I'm working on it now! However, I couldn't find the DMC color 748 at Hobby Lobby, and I can't even seem to find that color listed on any DMC charts online. Has that color been discontinued? Can you recommend a replacement DMC color to use?
Thanks so much, I love your patterns (though this is only the first one I've attempted to stitch)!

Me too!!!
I'm a thread nerd.
I hope one day I'll have all the DMC colours.

That's a really cool pattern.
The charting looks familiar, what software did you use?

I used Jane Greenoff Cross Stitch Designer for the chart, made my own key, screenshotted and butchered it together in photoshop.

It's a very..primitive program, it looks like it was designed for Windows 98/2000 rather than later. And her photo everywhere in it annoys me. It was a pressie from my mother, wish I could afford other pattern software!

I know what you mean. I actually met her at a stitch show last year and I told her I used her software - sadly I didn't have the heart to tell her I thought it was rubbish!!!
My dad bought mine for my mum initially but she never used it so I pinched it. It's okay for small stuff but now I plan to have a website to host my patterns I need something better which is why I upgraded to the professional version of Pattern maker: [link]
It's a bit pricey but I know a lot of people who use it so it comes recommended - you should save up and treat yourself if you take designing seriously.
BTW, are you planning on doing anymore Pokemon patterns?

Tell me about it. Especially if I do shinies too -.- At the moment I'm doing my bf's faves and taking it from there. Playing HG myself. Chikorita's so cute! So's mareep <3

I'm using Cyndaqil as my starter, I think Chikorita's a little weak as a starter, but if I decide to buy SS I may trade her across!
Mareep's a great pokemon and will see me through the game. I have a level 21 Flaffy atm, can't wait for him to evolve - Ampharos rocks!
Ahem, anyway, going back to the designing, out of curiosity...how have you been able to export the symbols from JG for your charts - I could never figure out how to do that!

I don't, I copy them from the screenshot in photoshop. Chikorita's the hardest to start with and Mareep is seeing me through mine, my highest level pokemon. Just training up for the dragon gym now.

Yep, that would make sense - I never thought about doing it that way.
The software I'm using now is a lot less fiddly as it exports all the pattern information into a hand .RTF file!
I think I will be sticking with Mareep and his evolutions throughout the game.
I am only up to Ecruteak - have a long way to go!!!
