I'm sorry if you've already answered this or posted it somewhere and I missed it but what pattern are you using for the red knight cross stitch? Is it one you drafted yourself? I tried to look for it and came up empty handed 😭 it's coming along beautifully!

No worries I haven't mentioned the pattern. Honestly it's floating all over pintrest and facebook so I'm not 100% sure of the creator. Here's a tumblr link to it.

I decided to go with something more traditional for my next small piece.

I found a Japanese book that turned lace pieces into cross stitch patterns. Look at this bow! There is another book with the same lace pattern theme on that site I want to get later.

you just keep your needle minder loose in a cup with your bobbins??

It’s the bag clip on the side! :D don’t recall how I started using it like this if I saw a tip online or I just stumbled into doing it on accident but! It’s honestly so nifty to have a minder I can just clip to wherever I need it nearby!

I am always packing scissors and memes.

Cross stitch kit instructions: make sure you wash your hands before touching the aida to make sure you don't get any chocolate on it

Me: lmao what kind of idiot gets chocolate on their aida
