Canvaswork completed at last!

I've finally finished my big canvaswork flower picture. I have to say it's the sort of thing I usually hate but I'm pleased with the way this has turned out. I managed to find all nice pieces of wool, tape, and cord and I think the colours are quite jolly and the stitches somehow manage to convey the feeling of a jungly background. A relief to have completed something I'm pleased with for once! It's also been quite an interesting project for my three-year-old niece who has loved sitting on my knee and doing the odd stitch - the canvas and wool are both so big (three holes to the inch, I think it was, and the fattest wool I could find) and I used a plastic needle so she could manage a few stitches with close supervision (the pink ones, of course). And with the spare bits of wool we made a couple of cord belts for teddy :-)
