Hia all, I a running a little late for TAST this week, ad part of the problem was I couldn't get excited about this stitch. I thought it was boring to be frank, but ever determined I decided to work extra hard on it, and here it is. I used it to couch sequins and sequin waste and two washers, one metal and one rubber. I changed the scale, the shape and how many "legs" to the stitch. And after all that I actually enjoyed it and am pleased with the results. I will edge this while waiting for Ellie at swiming later.
I got to thinking about it and I have actually used this stitch extensively on piece of work for C+G last year. I did a whole series on trees last year as you will see if you check out
space2create.net. This vessel was one i made later for the texere yarns competition in Stitch magazine, it was returned a few weeks ago unsuccessful! But I love it and that's all that counts. I used eyelet stitch prolifically on here, so i am not sure why I didn't want to do a sampler of it.

Wow that is an awesome piece. Amazing.
Maybe you got bored with that stitch and didn't realise it Carol because there is one heck of a lot of stitching on that vessel. It must have taken you ages. Its wonderful.
Carol that piece is fabulous! I wish I could see that in person, that is really a wonderful piece.
better late than... I'm actually run out of adjectives... the trees and your sample are (OMG) wonderful, amazing, stunning!
Hi Carol, re your comment on my blog. I don't think I'm the right person to ask for help!! It took me all weekend to put an image on the blog header (which is why I haven't finished my TAST sample!) and it depends on things like if you have Beta Blogger and if you want the image to have a link in it. I found that each little thing I did created a new and unexpected variable! Anyway, I used these links to help http://testing-blogger-beta.blogspot.com/2006/09/adding-graphic-to-your-blog-header.html http://betabloggerfordummies.blogspot.com/2006/10/how-to-add-picture-to-beta-blog-header.html so maybe have a look at those and see how you go. My main piece of advice - BACK UP YOUR TEMPLATE FIRST!!
Carol, the vessel is stunning, would love to see it for real, all that texture, yum
I think this is the beauty of the TAST challenge. You often come to really appreciate a stitch you hadn't heard of or weren't interested in before you try it anew and see what others have done. Great sample :)
