OK, I’m not being funny, but what’s the difference between software that does this and software that works out cross stitch colours? Mrs sp4ngle has a program that can turn any picture into a cross stitch pattern of varying complexity dependant on the settings. I don’t see much of a difference – program in how complex you want the picture, tell it the available colours and away you go.

I’m not sure I’m seeing anything new here, but it uses Lego so that’s cool.
