Friday Homework for Lesson 125: Carina's Knot Stitch

At first sight this knot stitch is not so different in looks from French Knot and Colonial Knot, but as I mentioned in last Sunday's lesson, Carina's Knot leaves a beautiful dimple in the middle.

Actually this will be very useful for making eyes on stumpwork portraits.
Make the coloured iris with a Carina's Knot,

and in the dimple place a French Knot with black thread.

Then add a tiny Straight Stitch for that glint in the eye.


But I am digressing, here is my homework:

    Beautiful work, Queenie, that knot is perfect for making an iris look realistic.
    Your stitches look fabulous.

    I tried your knot, your instructions were easy to follow,a nice change to the colonial knot I use.

    Hi Queenie,
    Playing catch-up!
    I must try that knot, I do love embroidering eyes and this looks a bit easier than the eye I did for my Polka Dot Lady! 😁
    Hugs,
