In this episode, Krista shares her May stitching and knitting updates, starting with a single cross-stitch finish: a needle book from a Spring Mingle exclusive class taught by Nichol Spohr. She discusses her shift from many small finishes earlier in the year to focusing on WIPs, and shows progress on several projects including a celestial whale shark, a crescent crab, a delft lion, a Modern Folk Embroidery piece, and a heavily customized Moonlit Manor. She also talks about her ethical dilemma over photocopied out-of-print patterns she rescued from an estate sale.

I look forward to adding links and using the chapters feature for my videos but I must first prove to youtube that I am a human and I am intent on continuing to post here! Thanks for watching and increasing my 'hours watched' metric youtube judges my human-ness and intention with. The only alternative is by submitting my government ID and I'm fairly uninterested in doing so  ;)
