WIP Charming Waterway Cross Stitch
After almost a year of hiatus from this Dimensions cross stitch I resumed my work on the project. Sometimes, when I put away a big project, I feel some resentment to returning to it. I think I got a bit fed up with knitting cotton cardigans and I wanted to do some cross stitching, but I couldn't feel the thrill which made me start Charming Waterway. So I picked another project - Heigl's Toscana and I almost started it, when I decided to give another chance to Venice. And I'm so glad I did, because once I started embroidering it my love for the picture returned and I've been working on it for two weeks now. I try to do some of the backstitching as I go along, because leaving it all for when the picture is finished would be a nightmare.
I won't probably finish it this summer, as there is still much to stitch and my eyes are beginning to feel tired, but I'll finish it some day.

Cars

Pattern: Cars
Yarn: Lanoso Alara 50% cotton 50% acrylic
Needle: 3.5 mm, 3 mm
Time to knit: 10 days
I knit this raglan cardigan for my nephew, who will turn 4 years in two weeks time and as most 4-year-old guys is crazy about cars of all makes and models. My inspiration for the stripes and the embroidery came from this vest I came upon on Ravelry.
If you like the cardigan and would like to knit one for your own 4-year-old, you can download it from here:
