Long Tailed Dragon #001

I started this little beastie yesterday. The pattern is a freebie from About.com that was originally done for filet chrochet but also works beautifully as cross stitch.

Jeannie-Maree sent me some lovely silk from Vikki Clayton (www.hand-dyedfibers.com) for Christmas and this is what I picked to use it on.

I'm stitching 1 over 1 on 28-ct Quaker linen (I think it's probably Antique White) and I just love working with it. It's the smallest I've done 1 over 1 (I usually use 25-ct) and I don't think I'd want to go any smaller, but I do love this.

The silk is Sue-Purple-Ous and it is looking just so pretty.
