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.

Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 201: Italian Knot Stitch

India is a country with a wealth of interesting embroidery stitches, and it was on an Indian blog I found todays beautiful stitch called Italian Knot Stitch! Where it originates from, and if there is another name seems to be a mystery.

Anyway you can read about that and find Anita's excellent photo tutorial at Artistic Fingers,

and here is my try. Just follow the pictures.

Then, repeat in the same way for the second stitch, and so on.

Homework:

Play around with the three samplers.
