This Canvas stitch gives you loops galore. Leave the loops uncut or snip them open into a nice fringe.

Surely you can see the wobbly tower of acrobats standing on each others' shoulders, or even heads sometimes! They must be sure of themselves to manage this balancing act.
Homework:
How can we use these five stitches for Sue?
Well, let's use red as the main colour, and play around with the stitches.
I'm intrigued by that last stitch - there's so much going on with it!
