Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 359: Wool Stitch

It was in a Japanese library book by Yumiko Higuchi that I found the Wool Stitch.

It is simply a Lazy Daisy Stitch with a vertical Straight Stitch on top.

Follow my photot tutorial.

Anchor the Lazy Daisy Stitch.

Come out again in the same hole you started from.

Anchor the Straight Stitch in the same 

hole as the Lazy Daisy Stitch.

In a twisted thread like Perle, you can easily see how the stitch is made. 

In wool, it looks obscure, mysterious and fuzzy.

Here is #357 Whipped Wheatear Stitch made with a plain red Perle and a knobbly, braided and slippery synthetic thread in purple.

As for the #358 Air Chain Stitch, I wanted to use the fact that the arch has plenty of room under its 'belly'. I couched a piece of ribbon under four of the arches. Please note that, on purpose, I put one of the stitched arches out of order. 

A ring was trapped under another two arches. As the ring is not fixed to the fabric, it can be flipped over.

Here is the completed pot holder I showed a zoomed-up picture of last week.

Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 358: Air Chain Stitch

On YouTube, I found a neat stitch posted by SahinaArts. It looked like a ladder with Palestrina Stitch for the two rails, and a string of loose Chain Stitch for each of the rungs. 

Unfortunately, I can no longer find this video clip. That is why, today, I want to use the section that makes up the rungs.

If you are familiar with crocheting, you know how to make a slip knot 

and then cast on a set of links for a chain,

thus making Sunday Stitch School #358 Air Chain Stitch. We will, of course, be using an embroidery needle instead of the crochet hook.

Just follow the photo tutorial:

For those of you who have taken part in TAST and remember Buttonhole Version 2 with Picot, you already know how to make the Air Chain Stitch.

Homework:

Build some Air Chain arches on these samplers.
