While I'm catching up on
TAST, I start to learn how to use my new camera. The last few days I enjoyed experimenting with the
lock stitch. These are the first rows I made. The top one is in perle 5 and 8, the second one in Stef Francis perle 5. The third row is a buttonhole stitch with perle 12 with a lock stitch in perle 8.
In the next row I tied a Chevron stitch with lock stitches. I'm not sure if I like this, but I really like the green row. I made lock stitches at both side of the straight stitches, but not over the same ones.
This row is not knitted! It's just 3 rows of lock stitches with Stef Francis perle 5.
For the last row I made groups of 3 long tailed detached chain stitches with perle 5 & 8 . . .
. . . and tied them with lock stitches in perle 5.

They are all your usual lovely stitching, but I love the last one. It looks like bouquets wrapped in ribbons.

I had the same thought on the last ones - look like bouquets.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI had forgotten how pretty your samples were Annet. Good to see them again.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThank you, Maureen. I forgot them too!
VerwijderenOh, Annet, I really NEED you! You are the best to show me how wonderful some stitches are, especially the stitches that I find difficult and soon give up on. THANK YOU!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThank you Queenie, I'm looking forward to see what you're going to do with lock stitch!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI love all of your examples! I had just decided the pink and green color combinations were my favorites when I saw how you used the lock stitch on your long-tailed chain stitch. It reminds me of a bunch of tulips. Lovely!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks, Renee. The flowers are my favourite too!
