Cross Stitch Collectibles has finally made a pattern for my favorite M.C. Escher picture.

Re: amazing cross stitch

There's software you can buy that turns any picture into a cross stitch pattern, coded by color numbers for whichever of the main thread manufacturers you choose.

My understanding is, though, that a purely mechanical conversion doesn't produce the best results - there's a process of cleanup and simplification that's best done by a person who adapts the computer-generated pattern for actual stitching.
