The TAST stitch for week
42 is Italian knotted border stitch. I drew a lot of different ideas and I
started with this one on my black linen sampler. Unfortunately I didn’t succeed
to take a good photo of it.
Then I continued on my
Aida, much easier to count! The first row is a combo of buttonhole stitch and
Italian knotted border stitch in perle 5. The second variation is stitched with
2 threads of stranded silk.
I experimented a little
more with my first idea in the third row, the thread is stranded floss. The wide border is a combo of a woven Cretan stitch and Italian knotted border stitch.
The threads are perle 12 and stranded cotton and silk floss.
The 5th row is
a combo of Italian knotted border stitch and pistil stitch in perle 5. The last
row is a variation in Stef Francis spun silk with flames.
Take a closer look at this
2 x 2 inch sampler on my Flickr-page.
Het is altijd lastig kiezen tussen evenwave en aïda wat mij betreft. Het eerste vind ik mooier, maar aïda borduurt vaak makkelijker. Je hebt weer mooie stekenvoorbeelden gemaakt. Groetjes, Paula
The Italian Border stitch, like others in the Fly stitch family and those with straight lines + knots make truly beautiful combinations. There is a very 'knitted' look in many of your combos. I especially like the one with Cretan stitch. It is always a pleasure looking at your work.
Nice experiments Annet..one with pistil stitch is most beautiful!!
