It's a good starting point. By the way, this is my favorite tool not on the list. I store my needles here after every stitching session. This keeps them off the floor.

Stitch of the Month: Basketweave on a Stick
Fredna's lovely sheep (done using Vineyard Silks and Basketweave on a Stick) is the stitch of the month for December. It's the perfect pairing of stitch and thread.

Fredna is working from a Julia Snyder stitch guide on an Elizabeth Turner stocking that's part of a Nativity stocking set. Here is the shepherd and sheep design in full.
