Very nice!! I know after awhile it becomes very meditative! Some of my patterns are hard but they become addictive in their design as they tend to put me in the moment when I work on them.
Very good work!

It's been years since this was made but if I remember correctly I used split stitch, wheatear stitch, and a zig-zag coral stitch. Glad you like it.

LOL I don't know any of those stitches. I guess I'll have to look them up.

Very nice. Gives me ideas for turning some of my knots into more useable items, how to really fill out the line work and such...

Ah, so many hobbies, so little time

Absolutely beautiful stitching. Very even and tight. It looks like you used a yarn rather than a floss and that's even trickier to make this neatly. Good skills you have.

emortalcoil In reply to Osa-Art-Farm [2007-10-01 12:05:32 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! One of the reasons for it looking like yarn instead of floss is that after finishing it I gave it a gentle washing which seems to have fluffed the floss abit.

This is incredible, very precisely sewn and looks beautiful too. Must have taken quite a while to complete. Is the design your own?

The choice of colors and stitches to use was mine. The overall knotwork
design was something i adapted from a Dover artbook. I forget how much
time i spent on it but yes, it did take awhile.

It fetched a nice price at the auction.
