Threads

It's high time for a holiday. I must admit to feeling a little threadbare. Therefore this will be my last Saturday Blog for a couple of weeks. Sunny Corfu has been calling for a while, so we're shortly off to relax, recharge and unravel our knotted threads, a seasonal unwind before plunging back into the fray.


I have, however, written a snippet of a poem on topic. I couldn't let you down, could I? It's a stitch up of an acrostic...

Threads (a cross-stitch poem)
Tension is most important. Build it!
Hands should be taint free. Absolve them!
Reference points must be centred. Triangulate!
Even weaving Aida is your friend. Choose her!
Always use clean needles. Never share! 
Do the actual business. Cross, back, quarter, knot! 
Secure your floss. Oops! I did warn you. All that painstaking work unravelling. Don't get cross!

Thanks for following, S ;-)

Hope you relax, recharge and unravel.
Going away with a good 3 points will help.
Fun poem.

Happy holidays Steve. Loved threads. Very clever (I assume you did your research as I can't imagine you with a needle and floss).
