I got to be very familiar with it during the June stitching session. :) Additionally, if you want to see what the kits look like or to view the instructions, the 'Participate' links should take you to Tricia's wonderful instructions. The CD is great and has step by step enlarged pictures of everyting including the butterfly that you get to keep. You will also at some point receive a letter from Plymoth thanking you for the $20 donation, so keep that around for your tax return (if you itemize). Stitching on the jacket was great experience. Definitely get the kit if you think you'd like to go -- you can't go with out it, and you don't really want to sign up to work on it if you haven't tried out these stitches before. And no, the Ceylon stitch isn\'t only used to make worms. :) I just wanted to add that the ‘ladder’ stitch that Jill mentions is known is Ceylon Stitch in the instructions.
