Old Italian knotted border stitches

This week’s TAST stitch is Italian knotted border stitch. The first samples are part of my TAST 2010 sampler. This butterfly is stitched with perle 12. The large wings are made of 2 small Italian knotted border stitches inside a large one.
This sample is stitched with Caron Wildflowers. The stitches are wider and 
I worked them from left to right inside each other.
Here I experimented with Stef Francis perle 5 thread. The pattern appeared when 
I was stitching.
The last sample on my TAST 2010 sampler. Two opposite rows of Italian knotted border stitches with perle 5.
A seam on my crazy ornament Snail in the garden. This is done with 2 threads of stranded DMC color variations.
This last sample is a seam on my ATC Crazy X-mas 2-2. I couched the gold ribbon with Italian knotted border stitches with 2 threads of stranded DMC color variations.
This is one of those stitches I forgot, so it will be fun to rediscover it again!
