Second session of my embroidery course. The focus today was on different embroidery stitches, at a very basic level. The course had no prerequisites so we’re really starting from almost zero here. I have used all of the stitches in the past so I didn’t learn anything new today. It didn’t feel polite to just skip the exercise, and I tend to be polite towards people who deserve it, so I kept following along, but I switched to my self-portrait from last week when it all felt too slow.

The self-portrait was meant to be our homework, but with me gone hiking for four days and spending the night before packing, I really had no time to work on it. There will be new homework for the upcoming weeks, so the self-portrait will have to wait until the course is finished.
