Canvas Work Sampler
I have finished the rectangle of the sampler – it still needs a border, but I am thrilled to have finished the inside!
This was worked on 14 count canvas – which meant 9 strands of embroidery thread (I used DMC floss)! I’m definitely moving onto a smaller count next time.
Each ’tile’ is a different type of stitch. In some cases the compensation at the edges drove me mad!

Sewwitty’s Red Square
I’ve started working on my squares again – it was an effort to remember what to do. Fortunately I still had fabulous instructions from here.
While working on my squares, I have been watching the latest version of Poldark – I would definitely recommend it – but isn’t that man’s life terrible? Everything goes wrong time and time again. Anyone read the novels?

I’ve had a small victory! For the first time ever I have been able to correct a mistake in my knitting without starting again! I watched a video on You Tube – this one (It is Lucy Neatby explaining how to fix accidental yarn overs).
