Update

Today I bought a metre of 14 count white interlocking canvas....and a packet of tapestry needles.
I'm actually feeling quite nervous about the start. Will I have to learn to walk before I can run, even though I had reached the running stage a long time ago?
I'm nervous about the first few stitches, and if they will be an anti climax after so long. I'm also nervous about the time I'll be able to devote to it.
Will I get started only to find time running away with me again? Which is what stopped me before.
Well, to answer all these questions, I just have to start, don't I?
Baby steps, as they say.
I've decided to work on small experimental pieces. I usually like to have the comfort of a "theme" as a structure to work within and I've decided to keep it very, very simple.
The theme I'm starting with is...circles.
Why? Because circles are probably the most difficult shape to work with on the geometric grid of canvas.
