Klipdrift

First there was the knitted Klipdrift bottle; now here's the embroidered crate of Klippies!


Behold the detail:


Different shades of colour and everything. Late nights and a lot of learning.

(Who knew that cross-stitch fabric was so hard to find? And that it comes in different densities? I certainly didn't. But now I have a whole lot left over and it's whispering "Buttons...")

    What a great advert! I am impressed by your cross-stitch - I have just recently become fascinated by embroidery. Have been battling to find suitable fabric, though. Where did you find yours?

    "what is a residence without a cache??" did google get that right? do they mean a stash of klipdrift? and what is klipdrift?
    sorry for all the questions, my curiosity is getting the better of me. Love the chickweed from your previous post.

    Something like that ;) "What is a residence without a case?" Klipdrift is brandy, but there's also a pun (sort of) because 'kas' also means cupboard.

    Thamks, Jesse, the curiosity was killing me, we definitely don.t have it in Ireland. The knitted bottle is brilliant but I couldn't tell what was in it!

    Look at you! This looks really good, Jesse. Sadly, I have no idea what a box of klippies is, but it looks good. Buttons indeed!! Please oh please make some :)

    Me again. You can get cross-stitch fabric online from www.charlescraft.com They used to do quite small quantities in a rainbow of different colours but they have merged with DMC so I don't know if they offer such a wide range anymore. They also offer a choice of "count"(density).
    14ct is standard and equivalent in scale to working over two threads on 28ct linen.

    Wow, imagine that! I love embroidery but don't do it often enough. Congrats on being in the new Crochet Today mag! My copy should arrive in the post anyday now.
