Friday Homework for Lesson 351: Twisted Chain Stitch

 For every stitch I add to Sunday Stitch School, I learn something other than the stitch itself. 

Last week, I understood why the Twisted Chain Stitch felt so familiar. In 2012 I learned it while taking part in TAST, Take A Stitch Tuesday. The stitch was #12 Barred and Alternating Barred Chain, where the 'arm' is long and sticking out like the spike in barbed wire. 

This week, I discovered that when you make the Twisted Chain Stitches short and place them close together, you get another stitch - the Rope Stitch, which was also a TAST stitch, #110. Here is a link to the blogpost of May 5th 2014.

Now for my homework.

Aida Sampler



Sunday Stitch School Reference Chart



Red Kimono Silk Scribble Cloth

The last four stitches would technically be Barred Chain Stitch, wouldn't they?

    The twisted chain does take a curve well, but I really like how it looks on counted fabric in a straight line.

    Of course Twisted Chain Stitch and variations as needed. Good samples and I like the variegated blues you used on your Aida Sampler.

    I will forever see little fishies in this stitch since you mentioned it!

    Twisted Chain is one of those infinitely variable stitches!
