Sunday Stitch School - Revision: Stitches 101 - 105

Time for a wee bit of revision, namely of stitches 101 - 105.
Click on the name for each stitch to get to instructions, pictures and homework.

101 Rose Leaf Stitch
This is a nice idea; make a leaf out of a tuft of loops. However it is harder than expected to get the loops neatly arranged. I found that a pair of pliers worked well, but this surgical tool (blood vessel clamp?) is even better.
To recapture the instructions:







102 Knotted Sheaf Stitch
Knots are always good to keep the thread in check. 
Apart from that, this is an easy and fun stitch.


103 Triple Palestrina Stitch
Just add an extra knot and you have this knobbly stitch.


104 Fly Stitch Filling
Isn't this a very beautiful grid with its soft lines?


105 Burden
Actually this is not really a stitch, but a technique. Either way, the result is nice.


Homework:
Sunbonnet Sue is dressed in white, but it is not June so it can't be a wedding dress. So what is she wearing, and why?

Maybe a bathing suit cover-up?

Well, I'm looking forward to seeing it, whatever it is!

I am intrigued re Sunbonnet Sue. The season is summer, perhaps something to keep her cool!!
