The good news is today's stitch is gorgeous. And easy. And looks fantastic on the stitched sample....which happens to be black on black. So, pay more attention to the diagram this week. And please enjoy and don't use my name in vain too much.

Did I forget to mention the stitch sample also uses two colors of beads? Oops.
The stitch is simple with Scotch Squares in alternating directions with a skipped row in between the squares. (Another wonderful example of how skipping a row opens up a whole new world.)
As you may have already inferred from the title, this stitch is from a little black dress on a recent piece. So, clearly, it is wonderful for clothing. Replace the bead with a Cross Stitch and you could have a fantastic floor or any number of architectural elements. Use a lightweight thread on a beautifully shaded body of water.
