Friday Homework for Lesson 364: Kashimiri Ball Stitch

I started writing this blog post with this sentence: 'This is an easy stitch, as we have already learned the Straight Stitch #317, Smyrna Stitch #94, and the Spid...'

Then I had to stop; the Spider's Web or the Woven Wheel, two names for a very basic stitch, have not been included yet in either my TAST or Sunday Stitch School's collection of stitches! I DID do the Woven Long Tail Chain #116, but the weaving is over a Chain Stitch, not a Straight Stitch.

And of course, I did it in the tutorial for Kashimiri Ball Stitch last Sunday.

Oh, I learn so much by collecting these stitches! I learn to see all the mistakes and misses I make!

The Spider's Web (aka Woven Wheel) will soon be added to the collection under its own name, but for now, it is used in today's homework of Kashimiri Ball Stitch.

WIPW - More SDGs Mending

 It is already time for another Work In Progress Wednesday report.

Hexablooms

I now have a pile of 16 completed blocks for row 16. The fabric for the remaining 11 blocks is prepared, cut, and numbered, awaiting basting and assembling.

Gifts

The luncheon mats are finished. I also made a Swedish 'tablecloth roll'. It is a cardboard tube that has been covered in fabric and used to roll up table runners and the like for storing.

SDGs Mending

While sorting out and packing away winter blankets and flannel bed linens, I discovered that my pillow liner (a plain pillow cover used between the pillow and the pretty pillow cover) was torn. 

It's a very old liner, probably from the 1970s, but of high quality and still clean and fresh. Frugal as I am, I thus decided to mend the tear in the same way as I did the tear in my black jacket - by using iron-on tape. I will be able to use the pillow liner for some time yet.

Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 364: Kashmiri Ball Stitch

Today I want to let Shami Immanuel of My Craft Works teach us how to make the Kashmiri Ball Stitch. On her blog post, she has a link to the video you can see below.

Or you can have a look at my photo tutorial.

Homework: Add Kashmiri Balls to the three samplers.
