[Nfb-krafters-korner] Plastic Canvas

Also stitch over your loose yarn and at the end, slide your end under the previous stitches and cut it off.  This will secure it with out knotting it.  Be sure to secure it on the back.

Ah!!  OK, I think I get it now; I was doing up-over 1, then up-over 2, then up-over 1, then up-over 2.  I'll have to do it the other way after I finish the one I've re-started with the continental stitch.
And now I know what to do with the tail, too.  So in the center, on your pattern, it looks like you're indicating some uber-sized stitches on that block bit.  Am I reading that right
