Outlining Your Canvas

I don't do a lot of counted canvaswork since I have a problem with the counting. I can count the same area four times and get four different results. Since I tend to do most of my stitching at night after a long day, the counting never gets any easier for me.  So I was thrilled to read what Kathy of Needle Delights Originals says about outlining your canvas before you begin.  Her instructions (with lots of photos) tell you just how to do this.

If you are a fan, you'll love reading this as Kathy is starting a new design.  If you are new to counted work or you have the problem counting that I do, you'll love the help in getting your counted project right.  This might help you with Laura Perin's online Monday Mystery piece, too.  She just posted another step on the 5th Monday Mystery, by the way.
