Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

My little boy was born on 29th June :) As you can imagine I've not had any time for CS, didn't even finish his Winnie the Pooh afghan in time (some of you may remember it?). However I am managing 10 mins here and there so trying really hard to complete it now. The main images are done just a few ...

the fabric (blanket) comes with the kit ready to stitch on. All u have to do is 'finish' it how u choose. Either stitch/hem the edges or fray it and knot.

I get Crossstitcher magazine, I'm away on hols today until Friday but will have a look when I get back if u haven't sourced them by then

great excuse for getting something new

Thats lovely, a great finish.

Congrats on getting through it

Here's Pooh no.2

It looks lovely Twinkle, especially seeing the 3 blocks together

Welcome from another North Walian

now you've given me more ideas

Oh he's so cute

I usually quite like backstitching but this is full of 'not in the hole' stitches which I find tiring to do! Plus the afghan,although the squares are big is hard to pierce, I might have to get a sharper needle!

First one is finished. The backstitching took two nights and was a KILLER. But its worth it I guess, it looks so sweet



Mmmm…just realised I've missed a bit of backstitch on the grass. Third night ahead

Lovely

That was certainly a quick one, well fone it looks great. Excited to see it framed

The pennies's dropped now I'm stitching!!!

Do you use a second needle to separate the strands as you're making the stitch???

I can't imagine how it's done using the needle that's got the thread in and making the stitch!!! Or am I missing something?

It's baking my noodle now

This is where I'm at after about 6 nights of stitching. Had to finish my cupcakes and my little girl's been poorly so not as far in as I'd hoped. Anyway this will be Pooh & Piglet sat back to back blowing dandelions

I'm confused
