I had not done more than a few stitches when I knew the Colcha Stitch is going to be a favourite.
Among the various couching stitces I have tried my hand on, Bokhara, Rumanian, Bayeux Stitch... Colcha Stitch is the most forgiving.
There are no stricts rules on keeping the couching stitch even in length, angle or number. Place it wherever you want on the laid stitch line. This made it a relaxing experience.
It was also nice to work the stitch in wool.

It took almost no time to fill in this 'tulip', proving that the Colcha is a quick stitch.
