top right to bottom left, and then back in the opposite direction - top left to bottom right. If you're stuck on figuring the technique there are plenty of photo and video tutorials on the net if you need them, but basically you want to work on a diagonal from one corner to the opposite corner - i.e. I worked one cross-stitch 'X' across one sc stitch. I began working from the bottom of the graph (neck up) making sure that I had aligned the centre of the image with the centre of the green base. The graph was good but I still needed to tweak it a little to get it to work on the crochet blank I had created (a green rectangle 50 stitches wide by 57 high - I used US single crochet and a 50g ball of Apple Green for this), and I would need to work out my own patterns for the floral crown as well.
Thank goodness it's 2017 and there were plenty of options available that could take a photo/picture and generate a fabulous graph! Here's the site I used. I soon found an image and quickly realised I needed to find a programme/app to pixelate it for me. Flowers and garlands are always a popular option in my world, but when the idea of a cross-stitch over crochet image of Frida hit me I knew this was IT! Being the most impulsive human on the planet I needed to get started, yesterday! So I hit Google and began searching for a likeness of Frida that would be perfect for the job. I spent a while thinking about a way I could best show off the wee 10g mini skeins. I love her art, her use of colour, her style & most definitely her attitude!Ī few weeks ago I was lucky enough to come into possession of a beautiful box of sweet Scheepjes Catona Cutie Pies. If you're a follower of The Little Bee you will already know that I'm more than a little Frida Kahlo obsessed. " I paint flowers so they will not die."
