At least the bottom row in blue is a success
I undid and cut away the previous stitches
at least two times
resulting in this wonderful little heap of cut threads.
Then I found this description through Google and worked after it.
I might undo the ugly yellow row - but I am not sure yet.

You must be a perfectionist :) I love the little "uneven-ness" of the stiches!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a very complex stitch Anneliese - well done!x
ReplyDeleteO my goodness, this is spooky (again) but your stitching looks exactly like the efforts I have done. (apart from the yellow row LOL). Wait til you see when I put a picture of mine up on my blog and you will see how we think alike so very much. I had a bit of trouble with turkman too and found some clearer instructions in a little Anchor book. They call it double chain. xxx Di.
ReplyDeleteAlthough this stitch looks easy, I find it one you need to work at, the tension is important. Checking alternative instructions is a good way to learn. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteit took me a while to get the hang of it too Anneliese, but we both got there in the end.
