How to Stitch May (Sort of)



Last night I got about an inch and a half of the May stitch done on Glittering Kimono. I can tell this is going to be a long slog. I've printed out the stitch diagram and "improved" it by writing down which side I am doing (the stitch slants differently on the right and left side of the jacket's edge) and numbered the rows so that I can do them properly. I keep repeating names starting with the lettering I am on to keep straight what I'm doing. It helps me a little and perhaps it will help you.

Note I added a stitch to the last row. I think it was left off by mistake.
