I was browsing through the photos I've uploaded to dreamwidth to see which cross stitch pieces I've posted to my journals and which I haven't yet, and came across a photo of my favourite sweater, so I thought I'd share it here. I've made this design 5 times over the years, twice for my sister with a sage green background, and three times for myself, this one, a lighter blue, and a rust colour.
The design isn't actually knitted in, because I'm not good at that, it's stitched on afterwards using the Swiss darning technique, which follows the knitting stitches so it just LOOKS knitted. I've made quite a few picture sweaters using this technique. I like the extra thickness it gives on the front.
