You probably recall that before Christmas I had started to practice my basketweave underside couching and had even got as far as drawing in the guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And there, I got stuck. Partly because my stitching frame was in the way of the Christmas tree and had to be folded down, and partly because I rather lost my nerve – the interval, you understand!<\/p>\n\n\n

I decided to finish the test patch with the actual thread I’d decided to use, and then I would have No Excuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in fact, this doesn’t look too bad, does it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are bits I’m less than chuffed with, but on balance, the pattern is fairly clear, clearer than on the previous piece, and I think I have to decide that any further improvement had better take place in situ, as it were.<\/p>\n\n\n

I decided to start on one of the straight lines I drew at intervals to help make sure I stay on track, and slightly off-centre, so that any particularly egregious infelicities in the changeover aren’t bang in the middle. You may recall that one of the discoveries from the practice piece is that I am more comfortable working horizontally and away from me. So I will work from this point to the far edge, and then turn the frame around, and work to the far edge in the other direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wish me luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
