Subversive Cross Stitch Can You Not Deluxe Cross Stitch Kit

Three little words. So many possible situations.

The Can You Not Deluxe Cross Stitch Kit from Subversive Cross Stitch is a wonderfully understated way to express a sentiment we've all experienced at one time or another.

Featuring the simple question "CAN YOU NOT" in bold black lettering, this design is surrounded by a geometric border in red and light blue. The traditional sampler styling makes it look like something that might have hung in your grandmother's house, although Grandma probably would have chosen a slightly different message.

That's the beauty of Subversive Cross Stitch. It combines the familiar appearance of traditional needlework with the kind of things we're actually thinking.

The finished design measures approximately 4.93" x 4.93" when stitched on the included 14-count material, making it a manageable project that's easy to display.

This deluxe kit includes everything you need to get stitching: fabric, thread, a full-color pattern, instructions, two needles, and an embroidery hoop.

It's a fun project for stitchers who enjoy a little sarcasm with their needlework, and it makes an especially entertaining handmade gift for someone who has mastered the art of saying everything with just a few words.

Sometimes a beautifully stitched question is all the explanation anyone needs.

A Little Sarcasm, Beautifully Stitched

There's something delightful about taking the time to carefully stitch a phrase that could just as easily be delivered with a raised eyebrow.

Can You Not is a perfect example of what makes Subversive Cross Stitch so appealing. The design respects the tradition of needlework without insisting that everything we stitch needs to be sentimental or inspirational.

And really, isn't that refreshing?
