How many circular stitches?

For those who are interested in canvas work and design don't miss the ANG Stitch of the Month for December 2008 as the theme is one of circles. 

Lois Kershner asks how many different circle stitch patterns can there be, and applies the answer to a monotone design of blues. Like most of the traditional needlearts with a little imagination, needlepoint or canvaswork  does not have to hold the stuffy connotations the name infers. You can apply a contemporary twist and create something lovely.

Thanks for the link. I just started my second piece on canvas and found it very helpful and interesting!

Yes for some reason this was released while still in draft form. Most annoying as I often pre-write items.
