Sharon B of Pintangle is doing a Take a Stitch Challenge again next year, where she posts a stitch weekly to experiment with. I’ve tried these in the past and gotten sidetracked by work.
I’m afraid I might do that again this year, but I’m going to try it anyway. She’s going to start posting on January 3, and I’ll try to post my experiments on the Tuesday after, giving me an entire week (and a weekend) to play with them. As I move into designing and teaching free embroidery as much as cross stitch, this kind of experimentation becomes even more important, or so I’m telling myself to justify this!
It’s not too late to join us, or stop by and see what people do — there are over 400 people taking the challenge, and it’s always fun to drop by their sites and see what they’ve been doing. Gives you great ideas for your own work!
On January 3, I’ll tell you how I’m planning on going about this experiment, and then I’ll start stitching! 🙂
