Another work-in-progress from one of my favorite designers.
I have a bunad (Norwegian traditional dress) that came without a purse. To buy one would be $100, which is how much the bunad cost itself! The purses traditionally have embroidered designs on them, so I decided to stitch this and make my own purse out of it. The bunad has mainly blue/purple tones, so i decided to stitch it on a piece of perfectly sized navy blue 14 count Aida, which was a great choice because the colors really pop! It has gotten pretty wrinkled, just from traveling, but I will iron it (on the wrong side!) before finishing it and turning it into a purse. My stitching is pretty uneven because this is my first time working on a dark fabric, even though it is 14 count Aida, my go-to choice that has always been good to me.  I t could be that my top stitches are facing to the right ( / ) and I think it looks beeter facing left. Does anyone know if this really matters?
Anyway, I love how this is turning out so far, and I will update it when I make progress.
This picture is on it's side, the actual project is roatated 90°, I do not know why it was flipped when I posted it.


MomMags,
Welcome! Smile
The stitches are all full cross stitches. We don't offer fractional stitches at the moment.


Debbie,

You're so welcome!  Smile

Hi there,

I'm running across the same problem. I'm finding a little bit of luck in resizing the image. If you are using iOS you can download an image resizing app for free. I hope this helps.

Line,

So glad you dropped by!  Kiss  I've been thinking about you, but knew you were busy with school so I waited for you to come by instead of writing.  I remember college days and how much work there was, sigh.  I probably lost contact with 75% of my friends back then!

Are you enjoying the Siberian winter?  We have cold temps, too.  Probably not as cold as yours are...though last year I was keeping track of your temperatures, and we were colder most of the time!  So unfair, LOL.

Our winter started out fairly warm.  We were at seasonably warm temperatures, so even though it technically was colder, it didn't feel terrible unless there was a lot of wind.  I definitely don't envy you that wind!  It makes everything so much colder.

Love that hat pattern!  Kiss  So beautiful.  I love the way the crocheted clusters make it look like it's got a nice diagonal pattern going both ways!  Kiss  And it looks nice and warm, too.  Kiss

Wow, that's an expensive pompom!  What kind of yarn are you using for the hat itself...is it wool?  Will it be at all washable with the pompom on it?

Can't wait to see your pics!  Kiss  You always make such fantastic things.  Kiss
