I cross stitched this piece just after Christmas and have been longing to make it up. I had never made a pinkeep before and I was a little hesitant about starting. For a first attempt I am quite pleased with the result and hopefully my next one will not take me so long to start, and be a little quicker to make up now I have more idea of what I'm doing.
The chart is CoeurAuxPaons and is a free design from Carinne found

I stitched it 1 over 1 on 32ct belfast linen using DMC 498.
Here is the front and back of the pinkeep.
I can't wait to start making up my other stitched pieces now that I have at last made the effort.
