Idle Hands Syndrome

I've nothing on my knitting needles at the moment and I can't decide which unfinished cross stitch project to pick up since I finished Strawberry Mouse,or indeed whether to start a new one. I came across this and I reckon I can design something similar using techniques from Horst Schulz and Vivian Hoxbro Domino Knitting. I'd probebly leave out the ribbony bits, maybe use Snowflake yarn and other speciality yarns. I'm pretty certain that the method employed will be a form of domino knitting, in that each square is knitted to another, no stitching required, and you weave the ends in as you go. To totally avoid any making up I suppose you could get really clever and do it on a circular.
