    Idk if that little owl was in already there in your update last week, but I love him and would die for him, so there’s that. Also ngl I can’t make out what the secret project is yet but I can see that it involves some very smooth shading. Nicely done!

    I’ve had basically no time for cross stitch this week because other crafts, you know how that goes. So my main “WIP” is actually figuring out what to take on holiday with us on Friday for a week!

    3 cross stitch / blackwork works in progress

    I’m thinking Ocean Wonder (by Caterpillar Cross Stitch, pictured on right) is definitely coming. This is one I got free to do a review of a while back but I stopped stitching on it because I suddenly realised how perfect that would be to do during a cruise.

    Then I’ll also have some sock knitting on the go (not pictured because I forgot and left it downstairs and am lazy)

    But then maybe I’ll also take some blackwork, the two in the pic are Steampunk World Map (CircleCross, left) and the Year of Blackwork SAL from last year (Peppermint Purple, middle). Both of those have very minimal floss requirements and require only minor brainpower, although the SAL is probably the simplest to work on while distracted so maybe that one.

    Hmm, decisions decisions.

      The ocean wonder looks super adorable! I usually take the simpler projects on my trips… Otherwise I spend the next week frogging 😅

        That would definitely be wise. I usually take way too many, hardly touch them, then swear to learn for next time (but never do).

        I may be imagining more “lounging around relaxing” time than you actually get on a cruise. Never been on one before so I have no idea what to expect!

      Oh my gosh that circle cross site has so many blackwork tarot card patterns!!! I’m going to have to get those once I get a little better with blackwork!

          I had to stop once I realized I’d put about 20 patterns in my cart…

          I suppose I’ll narrow it down to one or two to start with lol
