Sunday Stitch School today focuses on the well-known Twisted Chain stitch, but used in an unusual way - Detached!
I found it easiest to stitch it away from me, like this:
The completed stitch reminds me of an awareness ribbon.
No Swedish name found. Mattia suggests these names in French: - point de chainette détaché torsadé
- point de bouclette torsadé
Homework:
- Aida sampler
- SSS Reference Chart
- Play around on the scribble cloth
It may be well known but I don't think I've used this stitch
ReplyDeleteWhen Twisted Chain is worked in a line it makes a beautiful 'rope' and I am sure you have both seen and used it. However, I have not often seen the stitch in units of one, i.g. detached so thought I would add it to my SSS list.
DeleteIt could be used for an 'Awareness of Breast Cancer' pink ribbon, or a fish, or a leaf....
I can see that stitch would be a good texture filler, in different sizes
ReplyDeleteand directions. And it could be used for a border. Maybe even as fish in a pond?
Many possibilities.
Yes, a flexible stitch.
DeleteIt does look like an awareness ribbon.
ReplyDeleteEspecially if worked in ribbon, I guess!
DeleteIt's very useful for breaking up textures a bit while still keeping within the chain stitch family. And as you say, it has a myriad of other uses...
ReplyDeleteAlmost every basic stitch can be varied endlessly, just think of all the buttonholed stitches there are.
DeleteThese make cute little fishes!
ReplyDeleteJe n'ai rien trouvé dans mes livres pour ce point ;
ReplyDeleteje le traduirais par
- point de chainette détaché torsadé
- point de bouclette torsadé
Voilà

Thank you. I have updated the post with your suggestions, but there is no Swedish name as far as I know.
DeleteIt does look like an Awareness badge. Such a simple little stitch, with many uses I'm sure. Time to play with it.
