Year of Projects Week 1

Well, I've finished my first project for the year of projects, a pattern test for Switchcleo on ravelry. She's been designing some beautiful blackwork crosses, and here's mine:


It's a really fun, quick and simple stitch, which can be done in a couple of hours, but still looks lovely when finished. She will be releasing them soon in her Etsy shop
and I would really recommend that people check them out.

I've also swatched for my god-daughter's jumper
I got gauge on the recommended needles, so I'm going to start knitting the jumper this week.

  1. I used to enjoy doing cross stitch, haven't done it it years. Very nice cross, and the pink swatch is awesome....I can sure see a cute little jumper made like that.

  2. I love your cross stich, and when people make butterflies for me I'm over the moon, I just don't like doing it.

    Your goddaughters yarn is beautiful.
