My satin stitch tends to get neater as i go along so you could probably track where i began a project and where i finished it!<br />This is pretty and I do hope you use it, it would be a shame for it to hide away in a cupboard somewhere.Karynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10829482811680247238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2996397910883471581.post-42765820179506167342011-05-21T07:59:59.717+09:302011-05-21T07:59:59.717+09:30I mostly worked on it at night.

The crochet took me two sessions - one night then about an hour the next day to make the second drawstring. Someone who crocheted regularly would be much faster.Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05076197012454643657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2996397910883471581.post-79728204580491396782011-05-21T07:07:32.714+09:302011-05-21T07:07:32.714+09:30Its beautiful.

I had never heard of split stitch, but have now looked it up. I'm not surprised you needed a magnifier if you were using a single thread of stranded embroidery thread. <br />You remind me that somewhere in my bag of UFOs there is a finished pansy petit point which I could make into a small bag for scissors and thread. I believe I began it in 1959...about time it got some use.Jillian Cheeknoreply@blogger.com
