I've decided that my TAST stitching (that's the "Take a Stitch Tuesday" challenge that Sharon Boggon is running) is all going to go onto my Vintage CQ project. It's the only way I'll get to spend the time, if I double task these things.
The Diamond Stitch did not seem like a great fit for this application, though--too many knots that wouldn't show up that well. Plus it was just not easy for me to "get it"!
I went for the look of it, kind of...
The light blue Aurofil wool/acrylic thread there is my version of the Diamond Stitch. Rather pathetic!But I am excited about Week 2's stitch, the Knotted Loop Stitch. I know that one will go better for me because it is not as complicated and much more graphic...
hi
ReplyDeletei think it looks pretty, subtle:-)
It's good to know there's something you flunked! - That knotted loop stitch makes me wish I had joined the TAST. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThe fabric above your diamond stitch looks familiar, Ms. Allie! ;0) TAST would have been fun but I'm already 2 months behind on the BJP so it was probably a good idea I didn't join!
ReplyDeleteJust a question of aesthetics, why did you choose to put a line in the diamonds instead of making them open? I think it looks nice, just not as open as the other version.
ReplyDeleteTo answer your question...I liked how Sharon put a bugle bead in there between her diamonds...I guess that was what inspired me.
ReplyDeleteI just couldn't "grasp" that stitch!
