What is better than a cute canvas weave? Wait – what’s this? You aren’t familiar with canvas weave? Ah, my friend, but I bet you are!

You see, a canvas weave is what’s used as the background to a cross-stitch or embroidery project.  It’s the grid-like fabric with small holes at each intersecting block where your needle can go. And you don’t have to buy it – you can weave it! So, why don’t we chat about just how easy it is to create your own cute canvas weave.
