And we are underway

The florentine stitch bag is on its way to becoming a  reality and as I am using six threads of floss this will certainly use up the leftovers.
For someone like myself, challenged in the colour and design field this is a relaxing and stress free way to stitch.   Nothing needs to match exactly and counting up to four is the only mathematical challenge.   The next wave will be golds to browns I think.  
Just as well after a hard day at the office.   But now I am caught 'up to date' on what is actually a Guild project so this will go back into the bag until next month.
Last night I recorded the episode of Elementary so I'm off to watch that now.

This looks great. Once the first row is in place it's simple to keep going!

I like your start, it looks good already.

Oh, Margaret, I have to laugh. I've just started a Florentine stitch project and I miscounted, badly. :( In my defense, it was a misunderstand with regards to whether I needed to count threads or holes for positioning, but still. I'm back on track now though.
