Grab-n-Go Stitches is a handy little on-the-go stitch book by the Lone Star Chapter of the American Needlepoint Guild.

A stitch diagram is an illustration that shows you the individual parts of a canvas embroidery stitch (aka, decorative stitch).

But sometimes, you come across stitch diagrams that don’t have letters or numbers on them. Then what?
