\"Spanish<\/a>

Spanish Knotted Feather Stitch<\/p><\/div>\n

Naturally some of the threads I chose to use were from my extensive stash of variegated and over-dyed yarns. The Spanish knotted feather stitch running around the edge here is stitched using one of Stef Francis’s<\/a> pearl cotton type yarns. This one has very little sheen, unlike the more standard pearl cottons, but the colour change brings up the texture of the stitch beautifully. I think this is the first time I’ve ever used that stitch, and I really enjoyed it.<\/p>\n

\"Spiral<\/a>

Spiral Of Ladder Chain<\/p><\/div>\n

I realised that I had fallen somewhat into the trap of stitching around the edges of the circles, and wanted to create some sort of variation, so when it came to the pinky circle, I added a layer of widely-spaced burden stitch to alter the colour and effect a little. Then I used ladder chain stitch to join that circle to another.<\/p>\n

I continued the Ladder Chain across the skirt fabric and around the rim of another circle, spiralling around it and then into the centre.<\/p>\n

\"Glove<\/a>

Glove Stitch And Daisies<\/p><\/div>\n

More daisies, this time on one of the smallest circles. I may add to the grouping in due course, but for now, there are just the three pinkish ones with dark centres, one of them falling off the edge of the circle.<\/p>\n

The shiny rayon in stormy colours around the edge of the other circle is glove stitch. It was surprisingly hard to bend the stitch around the circle. I expected it would be easier, since with a name like “Glove Stitch” you would expect the stitch to be intended to run around fingertips, which are much more tightly curved than this circle!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
