To me TA...Thank you for your kind comment, Chitra. <br />To me TAST is very much a learning experience and I like to blog about my thoughts, troubles and delight for each stitch. Later I can return to that post and see if I have changed my opinion or got used to the stitch. <br />I just wish I could write more beautiful, organised and neat blog reports; the kind you and Annet do. I will have to learn that, too!!!Queeniepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281330411053716603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-79365740855129438332014-07-22T15:38:20.224+09:002014-07-22T15:38:20.224+09:00The spaced out one would be good for adding stitch...The spaced out one would be good for adding stitches, knots and beads in the gaps.<br />The tightly worked one on the left is, as many have pointed out, more like smocking.Queeniepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281330411053716603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-38553446575640426752014-07-22T13:36:20.498+09:002014-07-22T13:36:20.498+09:00lovely samples. you are right, starting the stitch...lovely samples. you are right, starting the stitch in the middle helps in even spacing.
