Your 2020 Mystery Stitch-A-Long with Jennifer

Welcome to your 2020 Mystery Stitch-a-Long with Jennifer

Ready to have some stitching fun? Remember - this is meant as a relaxing and meditative activity. With the similarity of colors, it’s OK if the wrong one gets used. (And I speak from personalClue experience!). #1 There is enough color variation throughout this pattern to hide little mistakes, so don’t fret, just enjoy the process! The overall design will still come through. And even though this may look like an abstract painting right now, I promise it will come together with more familiar shapes as we go. I hope you can relax and enjoy the process as well as the rainbow of colors! Happy stitching! ~ Jennifer This clue is worked with 18 inches of thread at a time (as noted in the cross stitch basics below). If you run a little short with the amount of thread you have to finish a color, feel free to wait until your next clue to finish up any missed stitches in this clue! We all stitch a little different, and all the colors you are using in this first clue will continue throughout the pattern. No need to clip a thread short!
