Starry Stitch Plan

When I start any needlepoint project, I always have a general stitch plan. It’s a simple but powerful tool that helps determine how to tackle a project.

Having this always gives me the confidence to start making changes to the original design and add in extra fibers or decorative stitches.

Extra Gemini Inspiration

If you want to take your stitching to the next level, here are a few upgrade ideas. Great for ambitious beginners, intermediate and advanced stitchers.

These suggestions are based on the typical attributes of your star sign. After all, Geminis are known to be social butterflies — flighty, indecisive, expressive, and easily influenced — a natural devil’s advocate.

  • Add A Decorative Stitch

    Master stitcher, Emma Homent of @themakersmarks recommends the T stitch for Gemini needlepointers. Use it as the yarn on the second, mirrored "Gemini" letters.

  • Make A Yarn Swap

    We chose this yarn because it's bubbly, glistening, reactive — just like a Gemini :) Use this yarn to replace the word in the canvas that best represents you.
