Please listen to Sue's plea!

 

Sunday Stitch School - Revision: Stitches 201 - 205

Take some time and repeat stitches 201 to 205. Click on the title to go to the instructions.

201 Italian Knot Stitch

An instant favourite, a great stitch I picked up on an Indian blog.

202 Fly Stitch with Twisted Ties

This stitch comes from the same source as 201.

203 Pariser Stitch

If you ever want a 'Buttonhole Stitch' that sits still in a straight jacket, try this one.

204 Mountmellick Thorn Stitch

This is a unique stitch, but a bit fiddly, as it contains a French Knot.

205 Glove Stitch

This one, however, is everything but fiddly. It's easy-peasy, and looks grand to glove boot.

Homework:

Let Sunbonnet Sue have a say with these five stitches.

Friday Homework for Lesson 202: Fly Stitch with Twisted Ties

Fly Stitch with Twisted Ties is easy enough to do, but looks a little uneven and wonky. Maybe that is part of the charm...? Someone suggested spiders, and I am sure that if you stacked two stitches you would get a nice spider with a plump body.

Mottled Wool Scribble Cloth

In variegated thread the stitches become rather joyful, don't you think? You can almost see them moving.

Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 202: Fly Stitch with Twisted Ties

Once again I have to give credit to Anita of Artistic Fingers whose blog is a wealth of beautiful stitches. Today let's look at Fly Stitch with Twisted Ties. 

Check out her clear instructions here.

As this Fly Stitch has two stems it resembles the Four-Legged Cross Stitch (when it is worked on point), but it is stitched in a different manner.

These are my pictures:

In the picture below you can see how the stitch can be varied with different spacing.
