Welcome to Episode Fourteen of The Five-Minute Stitch!
I return back to the bookmark for a bit of stitching on the green color before moving on to the variegated thread again.

What is The Five-Minute Stitch?
I do not do enough stitching in my daily life. I have plenty of free time but a lot of other hobbies, so I don’t get as much stitching done as I would like. So, I am holding myself accountable: maintain a video diary where I stitch for at least five minutes three days a week. Hopefully I can increase that to five minutes every day a week, but I’m starting small to begin with!
Why only 5 minutes?
Five minutes are all I’m comfortable recording at a time. The hardest part of any project is sitting down to start working. I’m holding myself accountable to five-minute segments, so that once the camera stops rolling I will have the motivation to stitch more on other projects. I’m not only stitching for five minutes and that’s it! 🙂 Besides, no one wants to watch me stitch for hours at a time!
Thanks for watching! 🙂

hi, I’ve been stitching for 40 years and you are doing the varigated thread correctly – complete each stitch before moving to the next.. Personnally, I think it is difficult to work with because you really have no control over the color changes. Everyone who stitches this design will end up with flowers that are very different. If you want a much more muted effect of color change you can work the stitches row by row, but again, you have little control, so you may or may not like the result. I try to use the varigated thread only for things like lettering where the cholor changes amke llittle difference. Keep up the good work.
