subversive cross stitch – book is coming – available march 30 or march 13 through the site
they also have calendars, notebooks and the kits…
In this wicked little book, Julie Jackson reinvents the age-old craft of cross-stitch, finally putting an end to all that saccharine sentimentalism and giving modern stitchers the chance to say what’s really on their minds.

Jussi’s socks are definitely still up on her blog with some of her other fantastic free patterns. http://www.castadrift.blogspot.com (and I am sure her socks were up well before knitpixies)….:)
I love that cross stich and embroidery is becoming popular with our generation. But, I saddned that “modern” too often equals rude and crass. Hmm…. Is THAT what’s on our minds? It makes me a little sad for our generation.
I have no idea what a yoga sock is… I need to go check that out…it sounds awesome!
Oh! It’s a lil’ legwarmer. Very cute! I need a pair!
Melissa — you’re not the only one…
Just because something is on my mind from time to time does not mean I want it framed and hanging up around the house. Especially if it is not one of the nobler sentiments.
“F*ck cancer” is a pretty noble statement, though!
There’s a free Subversive Cross Stitch pattern in the new BUST. It’s the “Babies Suck” pattern. I’m a subscriber & got mine yesterday; don’t know when it’ll be on the stands.
“Bite me”. that is TOO funny. I also like “F— Cancer”
Yeah for Julie and fellow Texan crafters! I can’t wait to see the book. If it is half as cute as Jenny Hart’s embroidery kit it should rule!
Yeah, sorry, I was being trying to be a fancy pants over at my site doing some new design on it, and I messed something up terribly and erased the whole frickin thing. It’s back up now..
What a nightmare.
