A stitch in time

Last night I did a few rows of my needlepoint project. It's actually a kind of cross-stitch/needlepoint combined. You do it on a mesh, like needlepoint, but you use a cross-stitch. It's a big mesh with what look like wide-open holes, but the yarn you use is so thick it fills it up. It took me a couple tries to get the hang of the stitch. I had to take my work out twice, but then I got it right and did a little bitty section.
