This is the sort of class that really gets me excited, as I love sharing stitches with others, especially ones they&#8217;ve never seen before, and ones that they have seen and drooled over, but thought were way out of their reach.<\/p>\n<p>So here&#8217;s the beginnings of my list &#8211; stitches that I am highly likely to put in the class (though no guarantees&#8230;!):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Plaited braid stitch<\/b> is a stitch of Elizabethan embroidery origin, that is seen as being very difficult. So we&#8217;ll attack that one!<\/li>\n<li><b>Cable plait stitch<\/b> which looks difficult, but can be quite readily mastered.<\/li>\n<li><b>Spiral trellis stitch<\/b> (another Elizabethan stitch) is one that many find intriguing as they haven&#8217;t seen it before. As its quite an unusual stitch, I&#8217;d likely include it too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And once again, I look to you, my wonderful readers to suggest other stitches that you would like to see covered in a class like this. I will be limiting it to only surface stitches, so there&#8217;s no need to suggest counted thread or needlepoint stitches.<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to your suggestions!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following on from yesterday, I have been thinking about the stitches that I might teach in the difficult and unusual stitches class that I am planning for Beating Around the Bush 2012.
