The TAST stitch for week
32 is cast on stitch. First I tried a pansy with 2 threads of stranded floss.
Sharon showed how to make these in her PLOS class and it was still on my
to-do-list. I don’t like my pansy, I placed the cast on stitches to far apart.
Then I did some freestyle
embroidery on my rust dyed sampler. I
used cast on stitches, French knots and bullion knots. The threads are blue
Caron Wildflowers and brown cotton a broder.
I also stitched 4 cast on
stitches with perle 8 on my black linen sampler. The other stitches are square
herringbone, bullion knots and buttonhole wheels.
Dat viooltje vind ik wel erg goed gelukt. De mooiste in deze serie vind ik de 3e foto. Echt heel mooi, de combinatie van die verschillende steken!

I like the embroidery on the black linen fabric
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHI Annet, thank you for your comment on my latest stitches - the Algerian ones - your cast-on stitches are so inventive and interesting - I will need still some time to do those because we are spending holidays with children, grand-children, friends, nephews and so on.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI would use AIDA fabric - but then I really have to count stitches - and I am such a 'no-counter'.
Beautiful stitching!!
