Witchy Stitching

Witchy Stitching is a cross stitch guide to the darker, odder side of the craft, written by Meg Black, who is known as The Witchy Stitcher. It offers 25 projects for all skill levels, with patterns inspired by gothic art, Halloween curiosities, haunted holidays and witchy oddities, so newcomers and experienced stitchers can both find something to make.

The projects include a spooky house, ghosts and ghouls for the walls, a garden of carnivorous plants and a vintage Halloween carnival. There are also haunted takes on the holidays, such as a gingerdead house for Creepmas and skeleton bunnies for Easterween.

The book also covers the basics of getting started. It includes lists of the materials each project needs, easy-to-follow charts and Meg's own stitching tricks, and she describes the whole thing as a grimoire for stitchcraft.
