Emily Peacock Rodeo cross stitch kit

If you believe the glossy weekend supplements, cross stitching has taken over knitting as the fashionable craft of the day. If this tempts you to have a go, or if you've been a lifetime devotee, you will probably be interested in Emily Peacock's cross-stitch kits, which include this Rodeo design. Its use of old typefaces gives it a vintage poster feel, but one with a modern inspirational message.

Emily Peacock is working on a ready-to-buy collection for next year, but until then you'll have to do it yourself. The kit provides the canvas, alongside quality wool and a colour chart. The 46 x 46 cm design may take a while to complete but, as it says, the secret is to enjoy the ride. 

The kit costs £42 to buy online
