I am also currently engrossed in cross stitching! Got a page finish on this full coverage project a few days ago, I've been on with this for...er.. about a year and a half I think?... and I'm just coming up on 25% complete 😅 You can't really make out much here because I've been stuck on beige island for the last however long, but you can see the full image on the pattern page: Autumn Stories.

As well as that I've been very slowly knitting away at the sleeve on a jumper that this is apparently the best pic I can find of. You get the general idea. This one is probably getting packed away through because we're going on a cruise at the start of August and I need to make some non-Wintery stuff asap. Pattern is Justyna Jumper.

And last but not least someone over on Mastodon sewed a cool skirt and enabled me with the shop link, so now I own not only a new skirt pattern but one for a bralette to go with it too. Planning to get both of those out of this quilt cover that I picked up from a charity shop for 50p! It's got big leaves on it and it screams "flouncing around on a cruise ship". Shop link for the easily enabled.

Love the knitting. Stick with the project! I'm currently trying to teach myself Tunisian Crochet, but I'm making the jump from traditional crochet, so the transition is pretty easy. Doing it using a book, no less. I'm finding it very fun and old-school to learn from a book instead of a YouTube video.

Ah yes Tunisian crochet looks like a lot of fun, it's on my list but just never quite got around to it yet. Good to know that already crocheting bodes well for me, though!

Are you using it to make anything in particular yet, or still in that awkward "making random squares" phase most new crafts go through?

I make a baby blanket every time one of the people in my shop has a baby, and just decided out of the blue to start. So basically one really big awkward square, all out of Tunisian Simple Stitch.

I figure I'll make one blankie out of each stitch, and by then I should be ready for a more complex project.
