The TAST stitch for week
39 is knotted buttonhole stitch. The top row is done in perle 8. The bottom row
is stitched in Stef Francis spun silk with flames.
The next 2 rows are
inspired by my blue PLOS sampler. I alternated the knotted buttonhole stitch
with the single knotted buttonhole stitch. The thread is Stef Francis perle 5.
A beaded knotted
buttonhole stitch. The thread is cotton a broder.
Here I continued playing
with 2 colors. On my TAST 2010 sampler I changed colors after the first
buttonhole stitch. Now I changed colors after 2 buttonhole stitches, it looks
much better! The threads are perle 5.
This sample is a
variation on the buttonhole border I made in week 2. It’s just 2 rows of
knotted buttonhole stitches with cross stitches to connect them. The thread is
perle 8, but I think a perle 5 would have been better.
The last part of my
sampler is inspired by Maureen, who wrote that the knotted buttonhole looked
like the up and down buttonhole stitch. I stitched all 3 rows with DMC perle 5
color variations. The bottom row is knotted buttonhole stitch, the middle row
up and down buttonhole stitch. The top row is a combo of both stitches, so I
think it’s a knotted up and down buttonhole stitch. I like this variation!
My complete sampler is

There is ALWAYS so much to learn from your work. THANK YOU for sharing and teaching us.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI love the version where you have changed the colour.
In the sample of the knotted and up-and-down version we can see how much straighter the latter version is . Therefore the 'up and down knotted buttonhole' gives a straighter look to the stitches.
such a variety here. always good to see what you have been up to, gives us all inspiration, more hours in the day please
BeantwoordenVerwijderenMooi weer, Annet! De kleur van de stof vind ik ook mooi. Heb zelf veel te veel de neiging om altijd maar wit of crème te gebruiken.
