Commonly, you will make mistakes, and sometimes they aren’t obvious and no one will know.
However when you are trying to do a circle and you fail. It’s very obvious.

As well as being a fantastic artist, and the creator of Bad Taste Bears, Pete also created several cross-stitch patterns.
I completed this one as a present for my mum. In memory of my brother Robb.

I decided to make the husby a wee Xmas decoration to remember 2021 by. And what better way to remember the year is by the fact we were all living through a pandemic!

I was part of a discord group for cross-stitching for a while, which helped give some hints and tips to improve my skills.
This was the first stitch-a-long (or SAL for short) that I did. A SAL is when a group of stitchers do the same pattern together. Parts of the pattern are dropped at regular intervals.
I quite enjoyed doing it, as it was interesting to see how other people used different clothes/threads for the same project.
It was the first time I’ve used black Aida fabric, which is a lot harder to stitch with.
