In a much-requested demonstration, Yvette shows you how to do Sardinian knot stitch, for both left- and right-handers. She also talks you through an example of Sardinian knotted embroidery, known as Punt ’e nù in Teulada, in Sardinia. If you’re reading this in an email, the video can be found at https://youtu.be/k8Dv836kvXI Episode notes: […] In this episode of White Threads FlossTube, Yvette demonstrates how to work an eyelet with a large hole, and the BEST way to finish an eyelet. She shows you the embroidered item she’s wearing for the day. For further reference, there are written step-by-step instructions for counted thread eyelets in Yvette’s book “Early-Style Hardanger” and […] There has been great interest round here recently in Yvette’s “Jardin de Fleurs” sampler cushions, so in this episode she tells you the story behind them. She also shows the embroidered item she’s wearing, another embroidered pendant.
