Learning blackwork embroidery and making mistakes

Blackwork embroidery for beginners (including myself). I’ve created a sampler to practise a few of the stitches used in blackwork. Come and see how I got on and what mistakes I made. I’ll show you the reverse as well – that’s where you can really see where I had problems!
