A Year of Stitches Day 4: Split Stitch

Today was the first new stitch for me. I followed Sarah Homfrey's YouTube tutorial. I find her tutorials very clear and easy to follow. They have lots of useful tips.


Today's Stitch

Today's stitch is split stitch. I used a single thread of the peachy orange Anchor cotton I started using a couple of days ago. The other stitches so far have all used two strands. I found it a bit tricky to do as you have to pierce the thread from under the fabric. It was hard to keep the stitches an even size, and to pierce them consistently in the right place, half way along. I'll try to finish it tomorrow although I've still got quite a long way to go!
