Default Eyelashes

You were concerned about turkey work because you are using canvas. You
can do it on canvas, however, here's another stitch designed for counted
backgrounds - which include canvas. See a tutorial here for velvet
stitch: http://heritageshoppe.com/heritage/stitches/velvet.html
You can clip just like turkey work.

Hi Diane - I'm on 10 count PC and only have about 8 stitches to work in
for both - and I don't want a uni-brow!

BUT thank you - nice tutorial

!0 count - why don't you just do as Joan suggested and couch a strip of some
eyelash yarn? Or that would look weird?
