Needlework Finish
This is the bookmark (or whatever she wants to use it for) thing I made for my sister for her birthday. It was on March 4, but it took me a bit longer than that to do this. I didn't unravel the ends in case she wanted to use it for something else.
I used two different patterns for it; the borders came from this: http://www.victoriasampler.com/Free_Patterns/Good_Friends.aspx
and the wording came from here: http://kincavelkrosses.wordpress.com/2011/03/01/pog-mo-thoin-subversive-atc-14-count-and-higher/
The translation, or so the site says, is "Kiss my arse", which I thought would be something perfect to offset the more girly-looking bits my sister might not care for otherwise.
Yes, I know it's off-center, and that my french knot looks more like the floss got tangled. First time I've combined two patterns, and I did it by sight. :)
