I discovered Sharon B’s Pintangle blog and her Take A Stitch Tuesday {TAST} Challenge. I’ve played around with embroidery off and on over the years. I never seemed to go beyond the basic running, stem, chain and French knot stitches. I’m doing the TAST so I can push myself to learn more about embroidery and ways to be creative with the stitches.
I started with Stitch 27, the Bonnet Stitch. This was the first I was aware of this stitch and it was both fun and annoying. Fun because I learned something new, annoying because each stitch seems to look different.
I don’t know if I’ll use this one a lot, but its nice to have the knowledge of optional stitches to create a different look.
