The Needle and the Damage Done

Far too long since I last posted here, and especially since I last posted a little freebie pattern, so here we go.

Bit of backstitch on this one; easiest way to outline the barrel. Still proudly fractionals-free, though. Stitch count; 7 high and 28 wide.

Stay tuned for more news on my new spiffy project ideas; who knows, I might even get my backside shifted and populate my tumbleweed-friendly Etsy store...

Edited to add:

Now available: the Herbert West Signature Edition in Glowing Reagent Green. Actually, how excellent would this look on black fabric, perhaps with one of those [Madeira? DMC?] glow-in-the-dark colours for the syringe contents?

Now, back to avoiding work...
