Take a Stitch Tuesday 2010
Monday, March 1, 2010 at 10:05PM | Sharon B TAST stands for Take a Stitch Tuesday. Each week during 2010, on Tuesday I will take a stitch and suggest people experiment with it, push it a little and see what possibilities the stitch holds.
I ran the first series in 2007 You can find the list of the first TAST challenge here This year 2010, I decided to continue the challenge. It starts on March 2nd
The idea behind this challenge is to share. When you blog pictures or whenever you write about the TAST 2 challenge please link back here. It means that people can find out more about the challenge if they choose.
If you see something on someone’s blog and it provoked an idea that led you to try something different, please link to them. Apart from being good blog etiquette it is giving credit where it is due.
If working a challenge stitch every week sounds too much. It is OK. Last time some people simply worked the stitches that interested them. From my point of view I am happy to see people stitching and sharing what they learn.
If you are busy and want to swing in and out of the challenge as life dictates that is fine. I can't make it more guilt free than that. That said those that worked all the stitches in the last TAST have said to me that learnt a lot! Even stitches that did not initially appeal to them, they learnt from, discovered a way of working and sometimes were surprised to find they enjoyed them.
How to join in:
Each Tuesday I post a challenge stitch. You work an example or two. Photograph it, and put it on your flickr site or write about it on your blog (don’t forget to link back to here)
Then come back to the page that relates to that stitch and leave a comment to tell everyone where you have your photograph. Don’t forget to leave your blog address.
Skill level:
All skill levels are welcome but I will be working under the assumption that people know at least the basic stitches. Those that did not do TAST 1 check out the pdf file I released 12 Surface Stitches for Beginners and the first series of TAST stitches.

Mañana publico en mi blog el primer punto diamond Stitch. Viendo las maravillas de otras compañeras prometo aplicarme más para la siguiente. Practicaré más esta puntada porque creo que no lo hado del todo bien.
Gracias por todo. Besos desde España
