This attempt was even worse than my practice stitch. I will certainly redo this stitch at some point.

The ladder stitch foundation for the first variation was going a little better and I was beginning to understand what I was doing wrong. This is where doing a class with a tutor in the room wins out over an on-line course. A tutor would have told me what I was doing wrong rather than me having to figure it out for myself! I realised I was making the 'rungs' too tight; they need a little slack which will be taken up by the 'wrap' at either end of the stitch.
Happy Stitching

The advantage of figuring it out for yourself, though, is that you won't forget it! You'll get plenty of practice, too, as a good many of the more complex stitches are worked on a Ladder Stitch foundation.
