Joined the take a stitch tuesday challenge
and the stitch for last week was herringbone. Already running behind and i have just started Japanese. Impossible to imagine how it will be when all's full swing.
Anyway i'm interested in the challenge as a learning experience, not as a pastime, because i don't have time to pass.The challenge will force me to ponder about stitching a bit and give me structure and direction because we all know how hard self study is.I have a very limited background in stitching and it dates back to the begining of times, my times at least.
Well, ponder about angles i did. Fascinating how the slant of the needle changes the stitch. I decided to go for linen fabric to avoid markings as much as i could. Still not too sure whether marking is kosher, but i had to mark the circle. And had a bit of dye run at the top when i rinsed the markings. Totally mortified.
Daunted by the work i have seen from fellow challengees.

I need more time to visit everyone's blog, but right now it's that or stitch.
Meanwhile still warping the loom for this month's sample for my study group. Tried to salvage 3 skeins of dyed silk that were somawhat tangled and have been struggling along. Feels as if this is my very first warp.

Aww thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteMarking is very okay. I'd use an air-disappearing pen, or something that will be totally covered by the stitching. You're learning to speak Japanese? My son took a year of Japanese, and loved it.
