Mountmellick Thorn Stitch certainly looks complex, and it is fiddly for sure, as all stitches where a French Knot is incorporated are. Having said that, once you get the hang of the stitch, then it is easier than you would think. Do give it a try!

It does look different on different ground fabrics and whether it is straight or curved.
Yes, it flows fairly well once you've started it. I find it easier to work it in the hand than in a frame, too.
Probably a time consuming stitch with having the French knots in it. I don't think I have seen this one before.
