S.E.X. in Alexandria

[gblvr]

So...ancientsavvy and I met up earlier this week for lunch and cross stitch shopping; we went to a great little shop in Alexandria, VA -- In Stitches. I also recently ordered some stuff from Herrschners and Vicki Clayton (Hand-Dyed Fibers)....

Stash Expansion from Yesterday

Here is what I bought at Stitcher's Stash in Fairfax, VA (I posted a store review under the shops tag )

I've seen this pattern twice now (and its sister pattern Spike) but its a pretty big pattern (1x1 on 22 count as designed Design Area: 10.3" x 13.5" Stitch Count 140 x 207) Never done 1x1 on anything but Aida so this will be new for me. I really love the pattern though, so we'll give it a shot.... eventually. Already have several projects kitted up that I have to do first.
