A few days a go I was going through my stash and noticed that once again, I had quite a few half-skeins and bits and pieces of tapestry wool. I just hate getting rid of it, so I stow it away until I get an inspiration for a scrap project. Due to the sheer number of "bits," I knew it was time to design!
The French Braid needlepoint pattern was inspired by a quilt I made several years ago, and is worked mainly in satin stitch with a touch of tent stitch used in the black border areas.
It's a perfect project for all you who just can't bear to part with leftover tapestry wool.

That is just neat! And you’re right – it is quilty (I’m a quilter). I’ll have to save info on this technique
That is so pretty. I have no color sense and would probably place my colors so they look muddy. You did a beautiful job with yours.
No worries – this pattern is foolproof! Try alternating light and dark colors, and step back often and look at it from a distance. It’s such a fun pattern, and will help you get rid of quite a few odds and ends!
