There are hundreds of different stitches that can be used in needlepoint, and the start of a new year offers the perfect opportunity to print and stitch your own stitch journal, complete with samples.
As of today, twelve (12) Needlepoint Stitch Journal Pages are ready, and include several basics such as common tent stitches including Continental, Basketweave and Half-Cross, textured stitches including Scotch, Cross, Mosaic and Hungarian - and a few you may not have tried before, including Smyrna Cross and the two-toned Brighton Stitch. Additional pages will be added regularly.
I've also included a Journal Tutorial explaining how to use the stitch journal to its full advantage. The tutorial also includes a fully-prepared journal entry sample for reference.
Updates to the Stitch Journal will be posted on both the blog and weekly newsletter, so you'll never miss a new page. You can also check the Stitch Journal List to see what's new.
So, grab yourself a nice big binder, some standard card stock for your printer, and scraps of canvas and wool - and enjoy!

Cheryl, this is such an inspiring idea! I love it!
I took a peek at some of your pages, and I can see that I am really going to enjoy looking through them all.
