Get Ready For 2014

I plan out my posts ahead of time and sometimes leave myself notes in my planner about why I wanted to write about a particular thing. My note for today’s designer, Dizzy Digital Craft Co, says “Ramadan and cats.”

By the time I made it back to the site, the front page was full of Mother’s Day projects and frogs. But that’s fine, too. There were still some cats to be found (a whole section, in fact), and lots of other fun stuff, too.

These designs are colorful, whimsical, include a lot of flowers and look like lots of fun to stitch. While we’re on he subject of cats, you know I couldn’t resist sharing this design of a black cat in a sweater (since I’m a knitter with a black cat), thought the pattern listing says it’s crochet when it’s clearly knit. The design is 142 by 200 stitches, which comes out to 10.14 by 14.29 inches or 25.76 by 36.29 cm on 14 count fabric. It uses 25 colors. I might just have to make it for my Baron.

Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, there are plenty of other cute animal cross stitch patterns here, including the aforementioned frogs, dogs, butterflies, some sheep, cows (Highland and regular), and a cute squirrel.

As mentioned there are plenty of Mother’s Day patterns, as well as projects for the nursery and projects inspired by nature, from flowers and mountains to beach scenes and funky mushrooms.

Those Ramadan patterns I mentioned are in a section called cross stitch, which isn’t that helpful but I did manage to find them again. There are lovely designs with a mosque and a crescent moon. In addition in this section you’ll find bookmarks, a few designs with people and a place where you can order a custom made cross stitch pattern.

Check out all these colorful goodies and more at the Dizzy Digital Craft Co shop on Etsy.
