I bought the book Subversive Crossstitch last month, and I've just now gotten around to trying my first project. I think it came out rather well for my first time. One bird is kinda funky, but I liked it that way, so I left it. I'm looking forward to doing more of these. They're easy but you have to be really careful about counting, because as you can see, I messed up somewhere and the design is a little off center. I can't wait to do some of the other patterns! I'm gonna give this to Brooke.
I like it. When I used to cross stitch the patterns were always so "country cute." I still have tons of DMC so I might just have to put down the knitting needles and try it again!
ReplyDeleteI can't knit to save my life. Embroidery is probably my favorite crafty activity, and this is really the first cross stitch I've ever done. I have a whole book full of silly stuff to cross stitch. I'm not sure what I'll do next- either the "You can't make me" or "Kiss my Grits".
