Around The World in 80 Stitches-Intro

I know I have mentioned this before but I will give you all the info anyway :)

Papillon Creations run a Mystery Stitch Along every few years that feature lots of speciality Stitches. Some of you may have already come across them. The last one was Castles in the Air. I followed the last one but never actually took part as I had to much on my TO Do list! But I thought it was beautiful so decided I would definitely do the next one, and here it is:) 

This is a 24 part/month SAL. Each month will feature 3 or 4 speciality stitches which share their names with countries, areas or cities from around the world.

They have given a guideline for selecting colours and the finished piece is 237x237 stitches. 

Here is my choices!

I have chosen to stitch mine on 32 count White Belfast Linen.
