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.

What a fab stich
Such a pretty sampler, Queenie! I always like the rythm of the needle in woven stitches.
Thank you. It can be used for so many things.
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!
So awesome! I am way behind on my TAST stitching - it has been months since my last stitch. But your post is giving me motivation... :)
I start off thinking this will be hard but then get carried away with the stitch. Love your sampler.
this has worked beautifully and love the colours you have used in it too
Your sampler of woven stitches is beautiful.
I am very behind with TAST stitches, but your samples of this stitch make me want to try it out. Wonderful examples.
It does take time, but is is such a beautiful and fun stitch, do try it out!
I am glad to hear that. It is a very rewarding stitch, so do give it a try.
You are right, it is easy to get carried away with the Woven Trellis Stitch.
Thank you. It is a great stitch, easy and good looking.
Thank you. This is a stitch that is beautiful in itself but can be worked into all sorts of shapes of flowers or insects.
A bit of variegated thread makes it even more interesting.
wonderful work, Queenie ,I love the play of variegated thread on this stitch. it is meditative the way you work them.
You're absolutely right. These variegated perle threads are perfect for woven stitches.
The variegated thread adds interest and you can see the shading well on these woven stitches.
Lovely stitching Carin.
Thank you, LInda. Much can be done with these woven stitches.
Such fun examples of the stitch. The variations of colour are interesting too.
I just dipped my hand into the bag of thread and pulled out three bobbins. Lucky dip, I guess!
I have always liked this stitch, you have done a beautiful job!
Thanks, Susan. It IS a lovely stitch to work.
