Friday Revision Homework - Stitches: 106 - 110

It took two weeks to complete this homework. Not because it was hard or time consuming, I just had to deal with too many other things.

Nevertheless, here is Sunbonnet Sue without her bonnet. She has removed it because she had to let out her curly hair to brush out the tangles.
Sue is a young teenager with a newly awakened interest in her SELF, hence the frantic brushing of her hair. As you can see she still carries some of her puppy fat and is dressed in the home knitted ensemble Granny made her for Christmas.
I bet Sue will soon be on a diet, in torn jeans, bedecked with body piercing, false eyelashes, chewing gum in her mouth and loud music in her ears...

Hopefully Sue's Mum will keep the beautiful ensemble, in tissue paper and mothballs in a box in the attic. Then the day Sue has grown into a young mature woman she will find it and appreciate her caring Granny's knitted gifts!

Friday Homework for Lesson 109: Knotless Coral Stitch

This stitch was easy and fun to make.

Many readers have commented that this is the Scroll Stitch. Well, I can only say it is a mirrored Scroll Stitch - you stitch the Knotless Coral Stitch from right to left, and the Scroll Stitch is done in the other direction.

Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 109: Knotless Coral Stitch

I have nicknamed today's stitch 'Knotless Coral Stitch' as it is a Coral Stitch without the knot. In 'A-Z of Embroidery Stitches 2', it is called Coral Stitch Variation, but I wanted it to have a 'proper' name so I can easily identify it.

Updated:
This is what Mattia says in her French comment below:
I would say in French:
- point of coral without knot or variation of the point of coral.

This stitch is very similar to Single Feather Stitch, or Slanted Buttonhole Stitch, as it's set at an angle, don't you think?

Anyway, here are my photo instructions:

Let the needle take a bias bite of the fabric, and place the thread behind the upper part of the needle.

 Tighten the thread round the needle.

Pull through and repeat.

You will soon have a nice 'wavy' line, but beware that the waves will roll out of control, just like any white-capped waves of the Seven Seas, in rough weather. This is a true ornamental stitch.
If you want the stitches to lie flat and neat against the fabric, use the ordinary Coral Stitch.
