One of my first attempts at stitching on evenweave, as oppose to aida. I loved the blending of Victoriana kitch with the mythological unicorn. 'The Last Unicorn,' was one of my favourite books, growing up as a horse mad girl, without the horse. Just about the only creature that could trump a horse for me was the fabled horse with a horn.
Evenweave is a greater challenge to stitch on than aida but gives a more sophisticated finish and probably looks better when your design allows a lot of the fabric to show around the stitches.
The design comes from the, What Delilah Did Presents, 'StoryLand Cross Stitch,' book from Sophie Simpson. It's a nice little book with various cross stitch fairy tale inspired designs, with lots of different ability levels catered to. There is also a website called What Delilah Did with information and kits you can buy.
