Sunday Stitch School - Revision: Stitches 356 - 360

It is time to review the five stitches recently learned. Click on the title, and the link will take you to the instructions.

356 Brueten Stitch 

This is a unique stitch, and fun to do as it involves being naughty and pulling a stitch 'out of shape'.

357 Whipped Fly Stitch

All stitches that have 'whipped' in their names are (usually) based on a basic stitch. Here, a column of Fly Stitches has been decorated with metallic thread. Whipping is an easy way to upgrade a stitch.

358 Air Chain Stitch

Let's do some 'air' crocheting! Let's build some attractive arches. It's a bit fiddly, but well worth the effort.

359 Wool Stitch

Yumiko Higuchi, a famous Japanese needleworker, invented this stitch.

360 Basket Filling Stitch

Here is a simple Canvas Stitch that can also be worked freehand, which will then give you a wonky look.

Homework:

I have a busy week ahead of me, so the Sunbonnet Sue Sampler won't be posted next Friday, but hopefully the week after that. 

Friday Homework for Lesson 360: Basket Filling Stitch

 The Basket Filling Stitch is very simple, a mass of vertical and horizontal Straight Stitches.

Red Kimono Silk Scribble Cloth

Unfortunately, I did not have time to add any stitches to the Canvas Sampler - yet, they will eventually land there.

WIPW - More Pot Holders and Oven Mitts in the Making

 It's time for another Work In Progress Wednesday report.

Hexablooms

I have made a number of new blossoms and am adding them to the rows I showed last week.

Gifts

I bought some more pot holders/oven mitts and will be decorating them with hexagon flower blocks and embroidery.
