This is
a stitch I like and have used before. Here is a small line (green floss), with an added chain
stitch going out to the right on my recently finished penny purse.
This
seam is on the Victorian bag. I've added other stitches to the right of this zig zag chain too.
I had a
busy day yesterday and didn’t put all that many stitches in the
Kingfisher. (Maybe I'll have something to show tomorrow.) I’m teaching some extra
English classes over the summer at the children’s English school where I work
part time, substituting for some other part time teachers who are on vacation. Yesterday
I had two classes that went really well – 4 and 5 year olds in one and 7 and 8
year olds in the other. I also had one
class of 3 year olds that did not go well at all. There were only three of them, but it started
with two of them giving me the crossed arm sign (meaning no) and the third who
just woke up from a nap, all refusing to repeat the vocabulary or say anything
at all in English. I was happy that that
was the first class and the next two were better.

I know very well how hard it can be, and how enjoyable it can be, to teach small Japanese children. You just have to accept that they are moodier and more spontaneous than older kids and adults.
The Zig-zag Chain stitch is one I haven't done in ages and it will be fun to do. You have a lot of examples to share. Great!
what a lovely sample...I have been browsing through your blog...how lovely to be in Japan...my dad was stationed there when he was in the navy...my dream is to one day be able to visit there...
