We have reached stitch #86 which is called Turkman Stitch. I had never heard of it, but once I started stitching my fingers seemed familiar with the moves. I have previous used it, but under the name of Closed Chain.
I think it makes a nice braid when the stitches are worked close together, like in the last row.

Very nice! I especially like the bottom row.
knew this stitch was familiar, thanks Queenie for telling us its other name
This is one of those stitches that changes appearance with the length of the stitch. I think you could do a whole picture by just changing the stitch length and the thickness of the thread.
Sharon had actually mentioned the other name, but you know me - I can't read and remember! I really need to pay more attention!
Yes, Turkman stitch has many different faces! Love the braided row. Hopefully I have time soon to catch up on my TAST stitching.
I hope you do! I am looking forward to whatever you do with the TAST stitches - it is bound to be something I have never thought of. Have fun!
Oh I am behind on these stitches again, your diligence puts me to shame. I like that braided row I have a few places I could use that.
Don't worry! You've been busy with so many other things. I will use my 'Braided Turkman stitches' for the Kafferepet quilt, back with report on Wednesday.
