First I began by experimenting with some black yarn on a piece of canvas trying out different thicknesses (of the same yarn) and some pattern overlapping to build up a little confidence.

I wanted to try white under black – to fill the canvas holes.

With some practice done to build up a bit of confidence I set to it. Here’s my final sample:

Image 8 – Sian suggested looking at the reverse of the piece and I really rather like the effect (I think the haphazard stitching on the reverse, especially the black stitches over the white to the left, is interesting):
