  • Lost - Epic Version

    Were you a lost fan? Did you spent hours and hours looking for clues and symbols? If so, you can't miss this cross stitch pattern! It is an absolutely epic version that features all the main characters, some side characters and a lot of symbols, including all the Dharma logos, key objects, and a lot of Faraday's calculation. The main idea of this backstitched part, is to give the idea of all the guesswork, hint research and connection that Lost fans did during the show.


    Let's see it in the detail!
    On top: the Lost logo together with the falling airplane and the black smoke. On the backstitched details "#1 - The night I met you" from Charlie's list, Sawyer's assembled glasses and the Egyptian symbols of the countdown clock, on the other side "The numbers are bad" quote by Hurley and some notes from the Faraday's blackboard.

    On the left border: "The Swan" Dharma vault , the compass that doesn't point to the north, "The Hidra"Dharma vault, the submarine, "The Arrow" Dharma vault, Locke's wheelchair, "The Lighthouse"Dharma vault, the good and bad balance from Jacob's cave, "The Orchid" Dharma vault and the bottle of wine straight and upside-down to represent good and evil.
    Backstitched: 15, 42, 23 and 4 from the numbers series, "Flight 815", Locke's knife, some notes from the Faraday's blackboard, "Out of the book club" Ben's quote.
