Time flies, and here is a revision lesson for the last five stitches.

It's such a good idea to make one unit of a linear stitch into a detached one, don't you think?
I wonder if any stitch is more important than the Straight Stitch! What would we do without it?
Every Rhodes stitch is impressive and easy to make. The Circle version gives you a nice plumb round shape and is far easier than a circular Satin Stitch, in my opinion.
It is just as neat and tidy as its sister, the Split Stitch. I must point out that this back-stitched version will gobble up much more of your thread and leave you with a tangled mess on the reverse.
On the other hand, it is easier to split the stitch from the front than to fumble in the dark of the reverse side of your hoop.
There are many stitches where you lace or interlace a foundation stitch, often a Running Stitch or a Back Stitch and create nice patterns. I think this is especially charming.
Homework:
How can Sunbonnet Sue help us to illustrate these five stitches?
I can’t even guess! I will have to wait to find out.
