Indian Cross Stitch
Here's a little piece of the progress I've made on the project. The bottom section of crossed stitches are in Koigu p201 and the to set of crosses are in p319. Every other pair of rows is done in the same color. I think the contrast between the two color ways will be a little more prominent when I get another repetition of the main pattern (what you see here) completed.
And here's a closeup of the stitch so you can see the composition of it. If you want stitch instructions, you can find them in the Vogue Knitting book in the stitch pattern section. Because these colors are lighter than the colors in the swatch, I thought it was a nicer demonstration of what the stitch actually looks like.
Ooo, what beautiful, even stitches. Koigu makes everything look better too.
How beautifule. I Love the stitch. andyou are right the contrast is dead on.
That is absolutely gorgeous. I might have to try that with my Koigu leftovers.
whatever it is (I won't tell your Mom:)
will be STUNNING!
Most beautiful stitch. Your pictures are great. I'm having such trouble trying to get the correct color and stitch definition in my pictures. Any hints? Thanks for sharing.
WOW! I'm very impressed--that's an ambitious pattern. I have an older copy of the Vogue Knitting book--is it in there as well as the newer edition? Thanks for sharing. Loved the Charlotte shawl also, BTW!
