TAST stitch 84 is spiked knotted cable chain. TAST
stands for Take A Stitch Tuesday, a challenge at Pin Tangle.
It was the perfect stitch for the last part of my
garden sampler. I stitched the spiked knotted cable chain like a buttonhole
wheel with perle 8. I added a French knot in the centre with 4 threads of
stranded floss. The buds are oyster stitches with perle 12 and fly stitches
with YLI silk buttonhole twist. I used the same green for the leaves. They are
raised close herringbone stitches, inspired by my TAST 2010 sampler.

So now how will you finish the garden sampler? To hang on the wall or a pillow or what??? Anxious to see. LOL
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIt will be an ornament. Hope to finish it soon.
VerwijderenA unique 'buttonhole wheel', so rich and beautiful, as are the buds and leaves. Will you start on another floral sampler after you have completed this one?
BeantwoordenVerwijderenNo, I'm not going to start another one. But I'm going to stitch flowers on a CQ RR soon!
Verwijderenwould never have thought of a flower for this stitch but will be using it after seeing what you have done
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI'm looking forward to see your spiked knotted cable chain stitches.
VerwijderenGreat idea doing this stitch in the wheel, Annet. Nice work.
