I got a plain black cardigan for Christmas this year. I already had a black cardigan with an argyle pattern down the front, so I wanted to do something to spice it up. I was planning on embroidering an initial on the shoulder, Laverne-style, but then I saw Casey's tutorial on Elegant Musings for a sweater embellishment and changed my mind. I wasn't so into the beading, so mine is just appliqueed and embroidered.

It's a blanket stitch around the felt heart. I used a chain stitch for the shaft of the arrow, a lazy-daisy stitch for the fletching, and a satin stitch for the arrowhead. I love how it looks on the sweater. The embellishment really makes it personalized and different.


I've also started knitting a baby blanket for my new little cousin. It's a basketweave pattern with a garter stitch border. I'd forgotten how much I enjoy knitting. It's so relaxing. Plus, it's something I can do while watching hockey and old movies. :)
