Rhodes stitch

It should also have been finished with a long-legged cross stitch on the edging but my brain couldn't handle all the messing around so I just stitched it however I felt. Worked out okay and with a lot less frustration than long-legged cross stitch.
The instructions on a whole didn't really agree with how my brain works so I spent a disproportionate amount of time scratching my head going 'hu'. And feeling pretty stupid. The instructions weren't in any way bad just not great for me.
My tassel was terrible and the thread to hold the scissors coming out the edge instead of the top. But otherwise pretty happy with the outcome. Fuzzy cat is as well, he's already attempted to liberate it as a toy...which might explain where some of the scissors have gone to.
