Month Three Goldwork Practice<\/p><\/div>\n

I am continuing to work practice lengths and fragments of the stitches in the Goldwork MasterClass<\/a>, since I am still working the silk motifs that form the basis for the Spot Sampler.<\/p>\n

Again I worked the Heavy Chain Stitch<\/a> in two “scales”. I find it rather surprising that the stitch changes width with the length, even though the needle comes up from and returns into the same hole. Still, it is useful to know that I can change the appearance of scale so much without changing the thread I am using.<\/p>\n

The second stitch is Four-Legged Flat Spider Web Stitch, and I’ve not found a diagram on the web anywhere. It is a large cross stitch, woven around in a weaving pattern. Simple to do, if you make sure to go over the top layer of the cross stitch and under the bottom layer. The challenge lies in keeping the thread spiralling smoothly around, rather than catching itself and crossing where it shouldn’t. I think I would be reluctant to use this stitch on a garment or something that would move a lot, as I would be uncertain of the stability of the coil. Using it on my sample cloth might reveal that, of course. I shall try to remember to examine it at the end of the course!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
