I decided it was time to branch out and try something new: one-over-one stitching.
Oh my. Am I crazy? These are some seriously small stitches. (This is 28-ct evenweave.)
That's the beginning of a little house. A very little house. See the tiny window?
Wish me luck. Also, let's hope my eyesight can withstand this new adventure. ;)

Happy New Year. Great start. I would have to say you are crazy but in a nice way.
You go right ahead! I'll leave the teeny tiny stitching to you youngsters!
Good, luck, which you do not need because of your mad skills.
I want to try that this year, too, Kristi!
I'd read that for one-over-one, it's best to make each "x" in full rather than doing a row of half stitches at a time, to help prevent the stitches from sinking into the fabric. Do you have any other tips?
Aw, shucks! Thank you, friends.
Glenda, thank you for the tip! I will do full x's from now on. I don't have any tips, but if I learn of any I will pass them on. :)
Sounds great; thanks :-). I look forward to seeing the end result and hearing what you thought of one-over-one.
Good luck with your tiny tiny house!
Have fun with one over one! When I do that, it seems to take so much longer than it should, because it is twice as much stitching to cover the same area as stitching over two. I had to buy magnifying glasses to wear with my last project that had one over one stitching. I'm getting old!!
