Progress on my first-ever attempt at a pre-printed cross-stitch. I've only ever done counted cross-stitch before. I used to believe that using a pre-printed pattern would feel too much like cheating, but I'm happily surprised to find it more relaxing. Not having to worry about miscounting my stitches makes it a perfect opportunity to perfect my stitch style by practicing techniques such as railroading. As I explore and experiment with different methods and techniques I'm discovering my preferred style. I'm hoping to turn them into habits by the time I reach the top, that way it will naturally carry over to my stitching on counted cross-stitch designs.
For added fun, I've decided to only post the rows of blocks completed and the rows currently being worked on to keep the completed design a mystery. Can you guess what the pattern is?
