Knotted loop - and Italian border stitch

Some of you will know that I could not stand my threads and fabrics anymore lately or vice versa - they could not stand me - sneezing and coughing as I was and much more - it seems that this cold will be over in 5 days from now - hopefully.

 
This is my excuse for crowding two stitches into one sample.
I started in the middle with yellow and orange
I wanted to create different shapes, organic ones and ended up
with centipedes - at least DH thinks so.
 
Also the lower border is made by knotted loop stitches.
I filled the upper third with Italian border stitches and
added some more French knots because
they fit in everywhere and are fun to make -

and because I have a cyberfriend who
recommends to put some in.

  1. LOL, it wouldn't be the same without the French knots!!! Like a sprinkling of pixie dust, they give your stitching the ability to fly high.
    Very nice sample - I hope your cold goes away sooner rather than later. More chicken soup and rest, please.
