As if I need any more WIP's and UFO's!
Started on New Year's Day. For my sister. Have intended to stitch it for ... mmmm ... 10 years, at least. Santa has wrapped himself in a US Flag. The blue star field is over the other shoulder. It's from a hardback Leisure Arts book I have, but the chart is in color, which makes an awful working copy and stitching from one of those books is a pain, so I recharted it into Pattern Maker for the duration. It occurred to me after I started stitching that if I stitched it on 32ct white evenweave, I could probably avoid stitching all that white. 16ct white aida. 66w x 59h

Way to go, Linda. Your first attempt at knitting looks great!
I'm looking forward to seeing more of the Santa, too.
A very good start on Santa! as well as your knitting.
Hope my mojo's continous too.
So sweet x
Santa looks great! You've got so much done already. Good luck in your knitting! It's great to learn something new.
Awesome starts.
As someone who recently learned crochet, I am there with you in the learning process. You are doing great! Next on my list is to learn knitting.
