TAST stitch 116 is beaded VanDyke stitch. TAST stands for Take A Stitch Tuesday, an embroidery challenge
at Pin Tangle.
I stitched my samples on
14 count Aida. Of course I started with Sharon’s first sample. The thread is
perle 8.
Here I stitched Sharon’s
second sample in wool.
This is a combo of the
previous rows, I alternated the beads in the centre and the arms. The thread is
wool.
Here I stitched a small
row in perle 8. I added one bead to the arms every 4th stitch.
In this row I added the
beads to the arms on one side and alternated left and right, the thread is
perle 12.
My last row is almost the
same as the previous, I only added an extra stitch between the beaded stitches.
Take a closer look at my
complete sampler here.
I can see you wanted to test this new stitch right away. Awesome!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI think the fewer beads the more of the Vandyke look remains. With more beads the stitch could be mistaken for Butttonhole. What do you think?
Thank you Queenie. Yes, I like the VanDyke with not so many beads so you can still see some of the thread. It looks better in a thick thread so you can see the chain in the centre.
Verwijderenhow quick you have been with these stitched, i only saw them on pintangle half an hour ago! Think I like it best as done in the first sample with the thicker threat and fewer beads
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWell, I saw these stitches early in the morning and I just had to give them a try between my chores!
