Kit punto croce contato «Appuntamento sotto le stelle»

“Date under the stars” shows two cats in jumpers sitting on a branch under a starry sky.

What the picture shows

The dark navy Aida works as the background, scattered with white and silver stars, and a comet with a long tail crosses the upper right corner. The cat on the left is grey, the one on the right reddish brown; both wear pink and raspberry jumpers with a large white heart on the chest, their paws folded in front and their tails hanging down from the branch. The branch runs across the whole width, carrying pointed leaves in raspberry, lilac, green and lime, each outlined in a darker shade. Twenty floss colours go almost entirely into the leaves and the jumpers, leaving the ground clear. The navy canvas is left unstitched and reads as the night sky. The branch with the cats runs a little below the middle, so a wide band of stars is left above them.
