This forms the first half of the loops. At the end of the row, turn and lace to form the other side of the loops.
Use a tapestry needle to avoid splitting the foundation running stitch. With this stitch, take care to lace, and not to pick up any of the fabric.
A thread of one color winds through a line of running stitches, then the other side intertwines with a thread of a complimentary hue.

The intertwining threads also symbolize the mingling of ideas and thought.
