Look what we've found! The Guardian has given a fabulous write-up for our latest Stitch A Star chart in issue 216, none other than Daniel Radcliffe himself!

Morrissey, anyone? Which star would you stitch?
Harriet's just charted a really cool Stitch a Star project. I can't tell you who it is just yet, but I can say it's someone a little different to anyone we've 'stitched up' before.
We'd always love to hear who you'd like to see in stitches. Email us your suggestions, or leave a comment on the end of this thread. Personally, I'd like to stitch Morrissey in time for his 50th birthday in May, but I appear to be a minority of one in the CrossStitcher office!
