I made this for the color in a box swap. It was a last minute addition, but I want to note that this little last minute kitty cross-stitch took so much longer than I anticipated. Mostly because my eyes have degraded as I’ve aged and I could barely see what I was doing. I mean seriously, I had to undo and redo several stitches along the way because I skipped squares.
But in the end, I thought it turned out cute.
I added a little felt circle to the back to finish it off.
So cute! The teal/black/pink are giving me 50s vibes. Black aida is a bear to work with sometimes, but this looks great!
So sweet!
Working on black is always hard on the eyes.
Absolutley adorable!
And I hear you about the eyesight thing. Whew! My eyes weren’t great to begin with.
Cute!
And the back looks great…. That’s always the hardest part for me
Thanks everyone!
@wittychild You’re right; it totally has 50s vibes. I didn’t notice until you mentioned it.
I didn’t realize that black aida is partially challenging though it makes sense. I just know I have to ask the kid to thread my needle some days because I get fed up trying to do it. It’d probably help if I got some readers and better lighting in the house.
Very cute! Black aida is made out of torment and sadism, but yields such striking results! That’s how they getcha.
This is totally adorable.
