TAST #119 Woven Trellis Stitch

Here is a nice stitch: TAST #119 Woven Trellis Stitch.
I have always liked woven stitches; they have structure and a beautiful surface. However, they do take a lot of time to weave. Then again, with a good audio book, some pleasant music or deep thoughts, it is rather meditative work.

Do you want to do some Zen Weaving? Go to Pintangle to learn the Woven Trellis Stitch.

    1. The Trellis Stitch is also easier to get an even weave; the Open and Closed Base Picots are difficult to pack a lot of rows on and the tip can become 'loopy'. I LOVE the Woven Trellis Stitch!
