This is my sample for Take a Stitch Tuesday this week. I enjoyed working with this stitch much more than I thought I would. 
First I played around with it on a piece of paper. Just to try and figure out what I could do with it designwise. I finally decided on a pattern and picked out threads in different blue hues. I think using a monochromatic colourscheme is a simple way to make a design work.

In order to get an even pattern, without having to count threads, I drew a grid on the back. When I had finished stitching I tied up the lose ends with tiny knots.
I think the knots make the back look really interesting. Next time I’ll use it on the front!

This looks very good Annica and your choice of colours is great.
this is really elegant, i love it.
it's i within the japanese restrained beauty aesthetics concept
don't you love the way the back sides sometimes come out?
neki desu
oops horrible typo, disregard the i in the 2nd line!!
Love this sample. The grid on the back is a neat trick to keep it organised, thanks for sharing :)
Thank you for your nice comments!
