I have been asked why the stitch is called Dandelion Stitch. I don't know, but the shape reminds me of one of the winged seeds of a Dandelion seed ball. Especially if one makes the lower V as narrow as possible.
In my homework though, the shapes look a bit like headless people or maybe something organic one would see in a microscope, bacteria, virus, creepy crawlers, a new mysterious organism....
Anyway, here is my homework:
Aida Sampler
Sunday Stitch School Reference Chart
Teal Wool Tailoring Scribble Cloth

Good samples. They do like seeds that could float through the air. Here there's all kinds of seeds and pollen floating and dropping, making me sneeze. We have cottonwood fluff and some sort of green small flower bit that is falling off trees in the parking lot, I don't know if they're little flowers or pollen but they collect in little piles. And that is just the beginning of it. The cars all get a dusting of it too.
That time of the year!
I think they look like dandelion seeds.
They could almost be Semaphore figures...!
