TAST 4 - Cretan Stitch
I've used the Cretan stitch to make a festive wreath. I went around the circle three or four times in different shades of green, and once in brown to give the effect of twigs. To prevent too much uniformity in the greenery I slanted the arms of an open Cretan stitch and inadvertently discovered the similarities between Cretan and Feather stitch. I've since discovered that Cretan stitch is also known as Long-armed Feather Stitch, so it wasn't exactly a breakthrough discovery! It's a nice stitch to stitch, if you know what I mean, having a nice rhythm once you get going.

ReplyDeleteIt is such a joy to find a stitch that works and can create the look we want. I think it is a lovely wreath, but realise how close we are to Christmas!
