I don't usually make personal posts here, but I thought I'd share this:
I've been doing cross stitching for about a year now. Initially, I just wanted to find some kind of craft to occupy my time with, and since I'm not very skilled in, well, anything, I thought cross stitching might be a nice, simple thing to try. I started out with easy patterns and have been gradually moving to more varied, challenging things.
Aaaaanyway, all this to say: I made a gift for my Elvis loving friend!
I got to try a new fabric (28 ct Evenweave, using over one stitches, which made the stitching quite small) and a slightly different stitching technique. I also modified the original chart a little (because doing pin stitches on Evenweave was a pain in the ass 😅).
This was a fun project to do, though veeeeery slow going (took me about three months to finish). I do like the end result though, and how well it resembles the original photograph. ❤️
