Bonnet Stitch
Bonnet Stitch I really loved doing this stitch it is very similar to herringbone. Another reason for liking it is that the thread used is nearly all on show not a lot on the back. I have been brought up to utilise all that I can and to not waste anything, and to me when there is so much thread on the back that cannot be seen is just a waste. I know it makes for lovely stitches and a lot of beautiful stitches you can do nothing else.
Close up of the stitch using wool. The pink is doubling over and it becomes quite a different stitch. Also learnt that by making the top stitch bigger and the bottom stitch smaller it changes again. Loved it.
Thanks Sharon for another lovely stitch that I can add to my achivements. Tast link take-a-stitch-tuesday here

Palestrina stitch.
I really enjoyed this stitch.
I have been wanting to make pictures with my stitches but do not have the experience to see a stitch and think that it will make a nice outline for a leaf or a seahorse. Queenie here is a link to queeniepatch suggested starting simple so here are my 3 circles.
There have been some stunning work done with this stitch check it out here on Sharons pintangle site.
This is a side view I like how this has been raised off the fabric. Do not know if this is what is supposed to happen but it is a different effect.
I have also posted on stitchin fingers site so will see if I can link to that as well stitchinfingers will try this out fingers crossed
Still learning how to blog it is getting better slowly.
Thank you everyone for all the encouragement that I get on my blog
