New crafts (nålbinding/cross stitch)
Dec. 18th, 2015 03:23 pmMy New Year's Resolutions included learning to nålbind and cross stitch. I've done cross stitch before, but not a lot of counted and never anything big. So I'm starting out with an alphabet sampler.
It starts out the same as a small piece. Started in the top left, with A.
I'm really pleased with how neat my back looks. You can see it getting neater as I go on, I hope that continues.
Nålbinding. It's an ancient craft that doesn't need a lot of equipment, and it's been intriguing me for a while. Today was my first try, and this is the start. Oslo stitch, or something as closely approximating Oslo stitch as I can manage.
I'm using a combination of tutorials: this one and this one and maybe more as I go on. I might even go so far as to buy a book or patterns, there aren't a lot of free ones.
