Embroidery 101


As part of my pursuit of craftiness for this year, I vowed to decipher embroidery.  Crochet is on that list too but I fear that particular skill may never be decoded.  After 6 months of attempting crochet, I've mastered exactly one stitch.  Said stitch only works to a point.  Once it's time to turn around, I've been outplayed.  However, after an hour on the computer this evening and some new embroidery floss in pretty colors, I've seemingly mastered 4 stitches.  I'm not much of a mathematician but the stats seem to show that embroidery is way more time-efficient.

There are some super cute things on Etsy embroidered and I'd like to make it to that point.  But what I really want is a super adorable granny square blanket.  Somehow I just don't think embroidery is going to get me there...But on the upside yay for learning how to sew!  I'm a little closer to being the Suzy Homemaker that I've never been : )
