Like the stitch says, NO RULES! 🇫🇮

Finished my mysterious little project, as teased last week.

Congrats to @ChexMax@lemmy.world, @exocrinous@lemm.ee and @nulluser@programming.dev for correctly identifying what would soon become a pair of cutoff shorts, but alas the full context was too niche even for Lemmy nerds to get right.

It is, of course, an homage to this year's fabulous Eurovision entry from Finland, which you can watch here if you have three minutes free and want your life to change forever.

I've also made it a free pattern on the off-chance any other cross stitching Finland nerds are about, although I admit that's unlikely 😄

Now I just need to figure out which of the multiple Eurovision communities is the right one to crosspost this to...

I made that same joke in the title already! Great minds, great minds 😎

[–] vikingtons@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

oh man how did I miss that

Jross jtitch. Goddamn meme communities.

Also what the fuck, Finland and Eurovision in general? Truly an incredible choice for an homage.

Lol are people still doing the jeans thing? I haven't seen it around for a couple weeks! Happy to contribute in this small accidental way, though 😄

If you enjoyed this you may also enjoy Croatia and possibly Estonia this year...

Great idea, pattern design and execution ! (see I am also commenting twice)

[–] thegiddystitcher@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago

Lol thanks, your double support is appreciated very much :D

Can't wait til crossposts are fixed though!

I had not seen that video before! Tobias Funke would be proud! The pattern looks great!

[–] thegiddystitcher@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Thanks! 😄 Clearly need to talk about Eurovision more at you, until you become a fan just out of sheer desperation for it to stop.

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Maybe I'll check out more of it tonight while I'm finishing up this color comparison chart that I got a little too enthusiastic with lol

[–] thegiddystitcher@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

Ooh you tease!

[–] JudahBenHur@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

good luck, but I fear it will be like kaarija all over again. I'm still mad about last year

[–] thegiddystitcher@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I've been watching Eurovision since the 80s and never once seen my fave win. At this point, it's much more about the party and watching along with friends all over the world 😄

(also I'm actually Team Norway this year so far, but Finland is definitely up there!)

[–] JudahBenHur@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

I might be team Norway as well, the songs got some sack. NL makes me want to remove my eardrums with a screwdriver
