Week 41 Knotted Loop Stitch
As I am laid low with an ear infection I have had to dig into some of my past stitching.
After TAST 2010 I designed a book cover, for a class, using many of the stitches from that challenge. To help demonstrate how you could give a stitch it's own personality I developed an exercise for the back cover and used Knotted Loop Stitch as one of the stitches. I found that many students had difficulty learning this stitch. It may have been that I wasn't clear enough in my explanations but I have taught it 4 times now and it still seems to be difficult for some students.
I find that it is one of those stitches that compliments others. It looks a lot better in a group of stitches, although it holds it's own here..
