Well, here's the top 30 rows of this piece. The nice thing about it is that there's no backstitching at least, so once all the crosses are done, that's it!
I picked up this pattern from the thrift store, and whoever had surrendered it had already kitted it up with floss (though no aida). I bought it because it was worth it for the floss alone, but when I brought it home DH said that he liked the piece, so I decided to make it for him.
Took some time off after clearing out my WIP pile to play some video games, then picked up a mystery latch hook from the thrift store that I decided I wanted to do.
The colours were kind of annoying on this one actually: there were several colours that could have been interchangeable (what's the difference between vanilla, honey, and spice?), and the yarn counts were off for some colours because they included extra. So I did the best I could (especially considering it didn't come with a reference photo) and I think I got the colours correct.
I think the kit is from Caron, but maybe it's just not available anymore, because I can't find it on their website.
And I've already got my next stitching piece gridded up and ready to go on the scroll frame. Wonder what it could be!
She is done!
I hope!
I'm pretty sure I've got all the backstitching done and that I didn't miss any, but I always have a sneaking suspicion that I've forgotten some.
I feel like the belt could be better, but considering I spent an entire evening on just the belt itself, it's as good as it's going to get. The right side is a stitch too high I think, but oh well. Plunging that cording was hard enough the first time - pulling 20 strands doubled over through a hole in 18 count aida was not something I wanted to do more than I absolutely had to.
DH says that we're definitely going to have to finish this one and put it on display.
