Time Off - Eye Strain

Due to eye strain, I need to take a week off stitching and will avoid using the computer, too. It's nothing serious so let's hope I get the all-clear from the doctor soon.

Sunday Stitch School - Revision: Stitches 296 - 300

We have now reached the 300 stitch mark and it is time to revise the last five stitches before we go on to further stitch adventures.

Click on the title to go to the instructions.


296 Rhodes Rectangle Stitch

It's yet another version in the Rhodes Stitch collection.




297 Raised Cup Stitch with Twisted Chain

Round and dome-shaped, it is a good stitch when you want something textured.


298 Hatamusubi

This is a Japanese knot used in Sashiko for joining two threads invisibly on the reverse side of the work. I think it can be used on the front, showing off the knot.


299 Backstitched Trellis Stitch

Do you want to use up a lot of thread? Here is the perfect stitch for you. All that backstitching will soon gobble up your thread!


300 Ring Picot Stitch

The Ring Picot is a nice edging stitch.


Homework:

It is Show Time for Sunbonnet Sue. What is she engaged in at this time I wonder?


Ah, those sharp lines look like floor tiles in a bathroom!
Ha, they are NOT! Actually, the lines will be slightly softer.
