\"Four<\/a>

Four Sided Interlacing Stitch<\/p><\/div>\n

The stitches for Month Sixteen are stitches that create prominent large “spots” of intricate pattern. They are simple enough in concept – there is a foundation of straight stitches, and an interlaced pattern worked around the foundation. Naturally, the actual working of the stitch proves to be less than entirely straightforward.\u00a0 I try to vary the scale of the stitches I work on my practice cloth, but in the case of Four Sided Interlacing Stitch<\/strong> when I was trying to work it as a counted stitch, the only variations I could create successfully were “Huge” and “Tiny”. At the smaller scale shown there is really little point in using an interlacing stitch like this, and one might more sensibly choose something a little simpler to work. At the large size, the effect of the metal thread is diluted by the background fabric.<\/p>\n

\"Diagonal<\/a>

Diagonal Four Sided Interlacing Stitch<\/p><\/div>\n

In the case of Diagonal Four Sided Interlacing Stitch<\/strong> my two different scales worked slightly better.<\/p>\n

I know, by the way, that in the case of one of these stitches, I made a mistake in the foundation layer which lead to a further mistake in the interlacing. I can’t find it now, and I’m going to be intrigued to see how often I get these stitches right, when I start working them on the sampler itself!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
