Experimenting with a single stitch on my current watercolor piece, Chained Stones.

It's all chain stitch. I'm using size 5 pearl cotton for all of the colors except black, which is Vineyard Merino wool. Working with the wool is new for me -- it's usually used for crewel work. I love the stretch.

Keeping the color palette simple. For me, anyway.

I may include other stitches in the piece eventually, but for now, it's just the chain.

| Lots of stitches to add. |
Looping here and there.
I love the colors you used. I don't know why but I find chain stitch kind of difficult - maybe I should practice more!
