I used a variegated silk thread to add the top laced stitches. As the thread is fine, it has added quite a subtle touch of colour to the base. I love the resulting twisted lattice band and, it was great fun to stitch!

TAST Week Sixty-Six: Twisted Lattice Band
This week's stitch for the TAST Challenge hosted by Sharon Boggon at Pin Tangle is a really pretty combination of stitches which results in the Twisted Lattice Band. Sharon's tutorial for it is here.
The base stitch is a row of double herringbone stitches (one of my firm favourite stitches!) which I added to my sampler in a green cotton perle (8) thread inside one of my partial circles along one of the edges. A top thread is then laced in and out of the base herringbone stitches.

Good Afternoon Christine, Oh I love your work and I love sewing curves and circles.
ReplyDeleteThe colours you have chosen are gorgeous and the herringbone stitch with the thread laced through it looks like smocking.
.... just gorgeous.
Have a lovely weekend.
Best Wishes

Thank you very much Daphne! It is funny you should mention smocking.... I thought that as I was stitching it! Hope you have a lovely weekend also! Christine x
DeleteJust beautiful! I agree with Daphne - reminds me of smocking.
ReplyDeleteAnother fun stitch Christine. Not an easy one to make circular I would think so you made a good choice to stay on the straight and narrow!
ReplyDeleteEs wird wirklich immer schöner! Viel Spaß beim weiter sticken!
