LOL! Here I thought I was so very clever a few years ago when I covered a piece of foam with cloth and pinned on an enlarged copy of my Binche working diagram! I had not read or heard of the idea elsewhere. I too place the colored glass headed pins to keep track of completed stitches. As I get more experienced I "prick" fewer spots on the diagram. I also sometimes coordinate the color of a pin (which is placed on the intersection of the completed stitch) with a pin of the same color on my pillow between those two actual pairs. Makes it easier to spot and match up the diagram with the bobbins. Great minds certainly think alike! Anita Hansen Cedar Rapids, Iowa
