Be Merry, 6

I originally had intended to stitch these diamonds in the Diamond Rhodes stitch.  Then, after looking at all those partial stitches, I shuddered--and reconsidered.  I like the way the slanted gobelin looks, so don't feel disappointed in my final stitch selection.

I have  stitched some more background and another few stripes.  I'm also creeping along with the stitches on the peppermint stick.
