Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

I have made five alphabets. Here they are and the charts for them are found on my webpage.

Going live on Friday:

I made a few blackwork patterns, actually, I designed them for my final squares of my stitches sampler.





There are some more on my blog, if anyone is interested, I don't want to burden the forum with all my designs. I have found a lot of relief lately in making them but I know they are not to everyone's taste.

Oh, you are really nice. Thank you. OK, here are some more:

This one is for coffee_freak. It is old, but everytime I see coffee_freak's posts, I think of it.

I had to design some charts for the new needlework course, and have put them up on the site as freebies. They are to be stitched on 40ct silk gauze, and will then fit an oval 1" pendant. You can choose between a floral design and a peacock -- full-sized charts on the Freebie page

Two more little subversive samplers:

Who Died? (will be published on 10th June)

And another one which will be published on 12th June:

This one will be published on 14th June:



As you can see, I'm on a bit of a subversive streak at the moment - LOL!

To be published on 16th June:

Two bookmarks and one alphabet sampler, all up on my blog now:

Charts now published:

Lovely patterns, Kell.

I also made some new patterns. This time I was playing with black and gold, I think they would look good on many different background colours.

I charted a set of 11 no-cut Hardanger minis, some of which you can see stitched up in my SAL thread; they are mostly stitched using one shade (preferably variegated) of perle #5, and one (either the same or toning or contrasting) shade of perle #8.

The "beads" on the charts are actually french knots in perle #5. There is some double cable stitch and chain stitch, but both can be replaced with backstitch if desired. The "filling stitches" are actually stitched on top of the fabric, pretty much as usual except that occasionally you need to pierce the fabric where otherwise the cut area would be.
They will work on any evenweave, but look best on 22ct or 20ct; they lose definition a bit when done on anything finer.

If you'd like to try them, just PM me for the full-size chart!

I have made an alphabet sampler.



If you visit my blog, you can find more detailed pictures, the whole sampler cut into four pieces for printing.
There is also a giveaway going on, so please, come and comment.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month!
Breast cancer is something very close to my heart - and not just because my heart is right under my breasts! I know several people who have battled breast cancer and, fortunately, won.

So, to do my part to raise awareness and perhaps help in fundraising efforts, I have designed four small charts which will be offered FREE from 1st October on my Kincavel Krosses blog.



In addition to this, I have designed a blackwork sampler with the poem "What Cancer Cannot Do" which will go on sale in my Folksy Store on 1st October. All proceeds from the sale of this design will go to Cancer Research UK, who host the Race For Life each year.



I hope others will enjoy stitching these designs, whether to give to friends and raise awareness, or to sell to charity. If anyone sends me photos of them stitched, I will set up a gallery specifically for them on my Kincavel Krosses blog.
