The northern lights blazing above a snowy wood, with two sheep watching the starry sky: a painting by Lucy Pittaway turned into counted cross stitch. The long sweeps of blue and green are built up with frequent colour changes, so this one suits stitchers who already have a few projects behind them and enjoy shaded work.
The threads come ready sorted by colour, so you can start straight away; a frame is not included and is best chosen once the stitching is done. You will also want a hoop or frame and a small pair of scissors. Fractional stitches and back stitch sharpen the trees and the sheep.
