Okay, so who out there does punchneedle? Over the weekend I picked up the current issue of Create and Decorate, and there are about four different punchneedle designs. I have also noticed more than a few designers also have charts specifically for punchneedle. I know nothing about it really. But I thought this mitten was really darling and I wouldn't mind making it!
I really like this little crow as well. I was wondering what you do with a punchneedle project once you have completed it. With cross stitch there are endless (it seems) ways to finish something small, and something large can be framed. Punchneedle designs seem much smaller than a hooked rug or penny rug, but this looks really nice mounted and framed. So now I need to do a little investigating. There must be a website with information on this, and I know I have seen books on it in the Nordic Needle catalog (which I think I will be digging out later tonight). I anyone has any experiences with this type of needlework--good, bad or otherwise--If would love to hear about it!
