While I was in England last week I treated myself to a cross stitch magazine. I chose "
Cross Stitch Crazy"
as I liked the kit that came with it more than the things the other
magazines included even though it was rather pink and had a ghastly (in
my eyes anyway) pink frame for it (not in picture as I feel the frame is
wrong for the work and distracts the eye from the stitching).
I
started it while in England, where I did most of the peacock and all the flowers to the left, and finished it at home though it took this
long mostly because I was dreading the massive amounts of backstitching
it has.
Stats:Size: 2 1/2" x 2 3/4" / 6.5 x 7 cm
14 colours
37 x 38 stitches on 14 ct Aida.
You are as bad as I am! Backstitching *shudder*
ReplyDeleteIndeed heheh. I even skipped the invisible backstitches in the flowers as I just couldn't see them nor could I face struggling with them.
