A photo of a cross stitch. There is a yellow sunflower surrounded by leaves in the four corners of the square and a blue and turquoise square border.

The Sunflower cross stitch is finished! ☺️💛🌻

Really enjoyed stitching this and would love to do another!

Ah, thank you!! Honestly, I struggle with the sweaters too, the green one went on an 8 month hiatus... But it's my favourite and would love to make another sometime! 💚✨

#showmeyourknits Sweaters!
Definitely not my strongest category, but I do have a few!

The Chartreuse sweater is the Svenson by Jared Flood, and the little jacket is Tommy and Tuppence by Lisa Chemery. The mustard sweater was knitted for my Dad, from one of my Mom's old pattern books.
