I've put down my first stitches and I've made a mistake already! I forgot to put in starting stitches to hold the end of the thread in place when I cut off the knot. Ooops. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to sew over the thread on the back. I'm going to try to do a new stitch each day so we'll see how long that lasts.
Today's stitch
I'm starting out with the most basic of stitches, that is, running stitch. I'm using two strands from a six stranded cotton embroidery thread. It's by "Designs for the Needle", made in Mexico with no colour number. It's a nice bright yellow. I've done a wiggle line of 16 stitches.
