Maybe I just haven't learned the hard way.

So my plans for this evening are simple. Learn and practice duplicate stitch on the swatches I made last night. It is the technique called for in the pattern for 'The Baby Shower Gift", and I've never really done it before. (I have done a moderately successful facsimile when weaving in the ends on my last project.)

I do this to myself alot. I choose a pattern/recipe/subject matter for my PhD that as a vital component includes something I know NOTHING about. Then I dive in with both feet and assume it'll turn out fine. (Hey, blogging probably falls under this category too.)

So far, so good (the jury is still out on that PhD thing...), but duplicate stitch is the most recent addition to the litany of things I decided would be no big deal.

Let's wish me luck.
