Friday Homework for Lesson 323: Maltese Cross (according to Mary Thomas)

 Once you get the hang on the stitch order and the lacing, this will be an easy and smooth stitch. It will take time to get to that stage and I don't blame anyone for giving up! Nevertheless, the result is impressive and decorative. The design makes one think of Indian Kutchwork, Celtic and Old Nordic designs of the Vikings, ornaments on Chinese and Korean garments, officers' uniforms .... Embroidery brings the world together!

Mottled Wool Scribble Cloth

It is nearly impossible to mark this fabric, so I eyeballed it. Hence, we have a wobbly cross!

    If you use the second thread double, and put some effort (yes, I know, fiddly) into keeping the threads side by side, that might reduce the wibbles in the eyeballed version. Although I'm already lost in admiration even with the wibbles!

    I'd probably get myself in knots if I did this stitch now.

    Funny, I like the wobbly cross the best!
