 Work In Progress Wednesday.

I have made just a few more blue cups,  nine to be exact.

No need to comment.

Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 237: Roll Straight Stitch

I don't know if anyone of you remembers #145 Roll Chain Stitch, but today we are getting acquainted with its sister - Roll Straight Stitch. I learned it from the same source, Miharu. Click on the link and the Japanese website will show you photos of how to work the stitches.

Although the name is Roll Straight Stitch, I think Detached Roll Stitch might be more appropriate, but I will keep the original name.

Here are my photo instructions:

Wrap the thread around the needle.

Tighten the wraps and keep them 

fast under your thumb.

Pull the needle through the wraps.

Tighten the thread until you have a little 'shrimp'.

Anchor.

A headless shrimp or a baby beetle larvae?

WIPW - 0%

 Work In Progress Wednesday is an expression coined by Sharon Boggon. It helps us who are into fabric craft, embroidery, quilting, dyeing, weaving, you name it. 

How? 

First, it pushes us to progress, to actually work a bit every week.

Secondly, it encourages us to report a summary of the week's work. 

For me personally, WIPW has meant I do more than I would without this push.

Having said that, there are times when I just haven't been able to progress. This is what has happened on this first week of the year - my stitching time has been taken up by unexpected things so my WIPW report is nil - 0%.
