WIPW - Texture

For today's Work In Progress Wednesday I will show you work done on the 

Sunday Stitch School Stitch Sampler

where there are three stitches, two of them are textured.

#239 Rolled Woven Picot Stitch (the five rolls on the left), #259 Raised Seeding Stitch (pink and mint green arches) and the flower made of #Romanian Macrame Petal Stitch (light grey)



As you can see, I have been blessed with enough time to do stitches that requires a bit of time. The Rolled Woven Picots need a VERY long thread and weaving it in and out of the 'weft' you have to stretch your arm out a lot. I will have a heavy feeling in my arms tomorrow!

Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 285: Triple German Knot Stitch

Here is another stitch from the collection of Madam Totsuka. I found it in her book Totsuka Embroidery Stitch Book 6. Let's call it Triple German Knot Stitch in English. Should you know of the official name, let me know and I will correct the naming.


Work a line downward, like this:







Homework: Add here.
