Sunday Stitch School - Revision: Stitches 281 - 285

 Five weeks have passed and it is time for another revision lesson. Click on the title and you will get a link to the instructions for each stitch.


281 Rhodes Stitch

This is the basic Rhodes Stitch that all the other variations are based on. It's easy and looks great.



282 Mosaic Filling Stitch

This is such a lovely stitch, and easy to boot. Play with various colours and have fun.



283 Raised Lace Bullion Stitch

Unfortunately, your hair might be in danger if you try this stitch - either your hair will turn white or you will pull it out in frustration - YES it's a difficult stitch. If you can accept that the flower you create is naturally wobbly and wild, then by all means, use it!



284 A Stitch

Here, on the other hand, is a stitch that is as easy as writing the capital letter A. You can also make it look like the Eiffel Tower or even a child's slide!



285 Triple German Knot Stitch

Any frustration left from working the #283 stitch will be gone when you get to this stitch. It goes like a breeze and you feel so good your hair will grow out quickly and turn back to its natural colour again!



Homework: You will find Sunbonnet Sue in _______. Yes, where do you think she is and what is she doing? 


The hints are:

Rhodes Stitch and A Stitch are most important,

navy blue and white are obvious colours,

Raised Lace Bullion Stitch and Triple German Knot Stitch have been added just for decoration - maybe Sue's XXX has a romantic streak and wanted to spruce up the place...

As always, I can't imagine. I'll just have to wait to find out!

I have no idea what she is up to! You are always so clever with her!

Navy and white? On a cruise, perhaps? By the beach?

That girl gets up to the most unusual things!

Maybe romance is involved? 'Spruce up the place'? in navy and white? You're giving us encrypted hints now.
