Not cross-stitch, but I found some really cool knitting icons. I know some of you knit so thought you might like them. (There's even a colorbar).

It took almost 3 years and a false start, but I've finally finished Magnificent Wizard of Dimensions' Gold Collection. There were times I didn't think I'd finish. My son was very (uncharacteristically) patient, telling me he didn't care if I stitched on it or something else, as long as he knew I was working on it. For the last couple of weeks, I've been stitching faithfully. I was always so close, yet so far. 

Now, on to the good stuff!
