The old Cookie Monster song claimed that "C is for cookie, that's good enough for me!" but this "C" is for my niece.
I'm not very fast (or very neat). So far I've spent the remnants of nearly four lunch breaks. That probably adds up to nearly an hour, maybe more.
I think this is called a satin stitch. It's not my best. The others I know aren't my best, either. Soon, I will be finished and then I can wash it, iron it and send it on to my niece.
When asked, she said she wanted green stitching. This green (DMC 581) is what I'm using for a vine (split stitch) on another monogram.
The handkerchief is from Decorating With Lace, the "Crochet Small Edge", I believe.
[Update 01/30/2008: I finished the "C" today and started working on two small flowers on the adjacent corners.]
[Update 02/08/2008: I finished the flowers on the corners, washed it, ironed it and am sending it on its way!]
