Some new stitches and Rapunzel continuation no. 8

Queenie - my reference number two for excellent stitching

announces Scandinavian stitches each Sunday.

(Number one of course is Sharon Boggon of TAST - take a stitch Tuesday) 

Some of Queenies stitches are so interesting that I take them over 

into my stitch book with drawings how to make ithem. 

Maybe only I will be able to understand them - maybe after some time not even me. 

We will see.

I posted already bout the Anundsjö stitch (it. is Swedish) - it is the first and second row.

It is done with two threads. So in the second row I took two different colours.

The third and fourth row show the Danish knot - such a very nice stitch -
if one needs something bigger than a French knot. It is also known as German knot.

And then fifth row the ermine stitch, in Swedish the Hermelinstygn. I have no

German name for it - maybe someone will know a name.

In French - which also interests me because we live part time in France:

Point d'hermine

Here is also Rapunzel again - a stitching pattern - straw-silk paper sewn down on

silk - and all sorts of stitches around cutout circles

And how I make my marks: It is with this pencil - Frixion is its name.

It is the pencil with some kind of rubber on the opposite end of the 

ball point. But I don't rub out with this - no - I use a moderate hot iron

and go gently over it - if I want to erase the signs and marks.

Like a mystery - they disappear!
