My back, shoulders, and neck are tight from the repetitive motion. After a few hours of embroidery, I reminded myself that good light is imperative and that I should rest my eyes after long stretches. There is an ancient Chinese myth of an embroidery stitch so fine and delicate women would go blind from long term execution of this particular stitch. Because of the detriment to the eyes, the stitch was outlawed and coined, "The Forbidden Stitch". I have to say I am very thankful that I don't have to rely on candlelight for any of my projects. With that said, I'm ready for another day.
