I'm new to stitching. what do you think?
Hey everyone. I came across this site about a month ago actually using stumbleupon and there hasn't been a day since that I haven't come to look at patterns and other people's work. You all have some amazing talent. I cross stitched a little when I was young but I never actually finished anything. So I decided to start over now. I got a few patterns from the forums here and then also made my own pattern based on a design I saw here that didn't have a pattern (at least not that I could find lol, I'm still new to the site).
here's a quick little magnet I finished in a set of 6 I plan on doing.
and this is a bookmark I'm working on for my boyfriend.
it's the "peek a boo" "peek a chu" bookmark from the february challenge. I couldn't find the pattern so I made my own. What do you all think?

Looking good so far! Welcome
Just a little tip: if you make all your crosses in the same direction, it will look a lot more even and (I think) better.
Keep up the good work.

I think what I was trying to go for was each row was opposite. But that didn't work so well. I'll definitely work on it. Thanks!Ellentje wrote:Looking good so far! Welcome

Yeah, if you keep all the stitches the same way, it makes it look a little smoother. I do like your mushroom! 
Welcome btw, and those pictures aren't too big. It's the ones that don't fit on a 1680x1050 res that are a wee bit on the large size.

Re: I'm new to stitching. what do you think?
I finished the bookmark. Definitely not the best of work, I didn't plan out well enough. But I think for my first project ever it's decent! I'm definitely going to keep stitching. I love this site.
