24. Interlaced Cable Chain Stitch

I can not find any use for this stitch on my flower print. So I leave it behind for now. I might update this post later.

I found an example of this stitch worked on a curvy line HERE:

Updated June 2019:

I won’t give up. Tried again with both Cable Chain and regular Chain Stitch. Difficult on curvy lines and small areas.

23. Cable Chain stitch

There are not many suitable places for Cable Chain Stitch amongst the flowers on my training cloth. First I tried to fill the area between two lines but I am not happy with the result..image

Then I took a thinner thread and sewed right on the line. The result looks better.

During TAST2012 I first learned this stitch and my first attempt is better than the new one. I also tried to use Cable Chain Stitch as a filling stitch.

21. Knotted Cretan stitch

I made Knotted Cretan Stitch on top of regular Cretan Stitches

image

The knotted stitches (white/yellow) are on top of Open Cretan stitch (different shades of blue). Unfortunately both light blue and yellow look almost white on my screen.
