Take a stitch Tuesday Raised chain
This is version one of Sharon's raised chain stitch. You can see the directions at http://pintangle.com/ I have to say when I first looked at the directions my assumption was that this would be time consuming and not really worth it. I was very wrong. It is a pretty simple stitch and not overly time consuming. Definitely well worth the effort. I am really glad that I used a variegated thread as that makes in even more interesting.
