First thing in the morning on the early 6.30am commute into London. 2 hours each way makes for a very long and boring commute – so the decision has to be made. Do I sleep, catch-up on emails or stitch?
What do you think I decided on …….
Yes you guessed it! Stitching lol!
I decided I need to use my wasted time in a more inspiring way, so got my Twisted Band Sampler on my qsnap. I have to say I’m rather impressed with the progress of only stitching this wip on the train.
Hi Teresa,
I Absolutely adore your flosstube channel! Ok so I’ve been bitten by the Twisted Band Sampler bug and just have a quick question/ concern ( way to Pay it forward, right?) I also ordered it Cross stitch only…. I ordered mine from 123 stitch and when it arrived I have herringbone, Smyrna,, and all different stitches as part of my pattern; Cross stitch only?!?!
Then lo and behold you hold up yours(Thank You btw) I got a good look at your progress and it looks like only cross stitch. What am I missing in the pattern or ordering I wonder? Is there something I need to convert the pattern?
Thank You for any advice you can give
Keep up the BEAUTIFUL work
Sincerely,
Gena

Hi Gena,
I’m afraid to say I think you have received the wrong chart. Northern expression Needleworks has this pattern as cross stitch only and the speciality stitches option. It sounds like 123 stitch has sent you the wrong one. Here are the links to the two different options direct from northern expression Needleworks

This is the version that sounds like you have received:- https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/166189848/twisted-band-sampler-pdf-chart-byhttps://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/166189848/twisted-band-sampler-pdf-chart-by
I think your only way round this would be to order the pdf version direct from Northern Expression Needleworks or contact 123 stitch and tell them that you have received the wrong one.
Fingers crossed you find a way of getting the right chart so you start your new project ?
Kindest regards
Teresa
