TAST design challenge, or disqualified?

For the first TAST design challenge of the year, Sharon of Pintangle, suggested we made something with four of these stitches:

Herringbone Square
Laced Herringbone Square
Back Stitch
Straight Stitch
Chain Stitch
Detached Chain Stitch
French Knot

After I had made the Crown of Thorn with the Breton Stitch, I thought I'd make another crown for the TAST design challenge. This one with gold, gem stones, pearls and all the works:





I used purple (royal, you know) velveteen and Herringbone Squares, Laced Herringbone Squares, Chain Stitch, Detached Chain Stitch and French Knots for the precious metal and stones.

Then I started thinking, (a bit late, eh?): 'Wait a moment, Sharon said FOUR stitches and I have used FIVE'.

I left school a long time ago, but obviously I have not learned to read yet!!! So I am disqualified from the start, sigh!

    This crown is lovely! Such a shame it doesn't qualify. Maybe Sharon won't notice how many stitches you've used.

    She does say four. I can only see four the other one was just to complete the design. Which I love.

    I am sure you can enter, you have an added bonus with 5 stitches. He is Risen, He is Risen indeed Alleluia.

    Oh, I love what you did, Queenie! So creative! I say it's at least four of the stitches. I couldn't be limited. I wish I was keeping up this year, I'm so behind.

    You made a very nice crown. I'm pretty sure Sharon isn't that strict ;-)

    I love it. And lets say the french knots stand for beads and replace them so they are not really the fifth stitches?

    what a lovely work. your crown is very expressive. I think the fact you used five stitch instead four is not important. what is important is than you enjoyed when you stitch it.

    Four or five stitches - your crown is gorgeous! Great idea and as always so beautifully executed.
