A stitch I wasn’t too keen on, crossed buttonhole. I can see a use for it in crazy quilting but for me this stitch is blaargh.
I didn’t have enough black floss to do the entire sampler so I had to switch to dark grey after just two rows.
Nope, still no positive feelings about this. I might change my mind if I stitched this on aida and thus be able to make all the stitches even and symmetric. Yup, that’s what is bothering me here. See, talking to yourself helps the creative process. Opens up new horizons and all that.
Next in line to stitch: Half Chevron. My other samplers can be found here.

LOL! Your blaargh looks great though!
I thought it was growing on me but no, no way I’m doing this again. So blaargh vol.2.
I happen to like this one !
It’s growing on me…
