Torchon beginners #2 - Stripey, cloth stitch and twist ground

This video supports the third pattern I use with beginners, this is the secpnd time they meet ground stitches, in this case cloth stitch and twist, pin, cloth stitch and twist. Its a simple bookmark with 12 pairs, I used Aurifil 28/2 to work the bookmark. To have a good end result you will need to ensure you make an accurate pricking to put your pins in and that you work an even tension at every stitch (the stitch used doesn't tension past the pin unlike the previous Tartan bookmark so its harder than it might seem at first!
