Close-up of a cross-stitch piece on white 11-count Aida cloth showing a nearly completed design of a pink wellington boot with small white polka dots. The boot is stitched in varying shades of pink and red, with crisp stitches achieved using three strands of floss and a laying tool.

Pink polka-dot wellies on the hoop! 🌸🌧 Working 3 strands over 11-count Aida is a challenge—thank goodness for my trusty laying tool to keep things neat. Loving how the shades of pink pop against those tiny white dots. #CrossStitch #NeedleworkJoy #CraftingRainboots #wip #needleandthread #fibrearts
