Happiness is...

....conquering the kitchener stitch!  Okay - maybe it's not conquered - but I did it.  The first time wasn't the prettiest of results, but my second attempt looks pretty good.  I was smart and watched a video before the second attempt.   I'll be doing my third one today.  I'm going to see if there are special instructions for the kitchener stitch on seed stitch.  Bottom line - once I got going with it the second time, I got to thinking - what is the fuss all about?  It's really not that hard.
