The moment I saw "Basque" I thought of Jean Borotra the "Bounding Basque" and of the game Pelote the incdedibly fast game which is played against a wall with a sort of scoop shaped basket and a very small ball. So my basque stitch is based on the "basket" complete with flying ball!!!

I like this stitch, at first, I was making it like a detched chain without the twist and then the penny dropped. It does have a sort of folklore look to it a good stitch for building up layers as you can work it both ways.
This is from last year. Can't wait!!!

Have a good break Pat. Hope you come back all refreshed and eager to create.
Most of us are too young to remember the bounding Basque!
Wish you a goed time! And I am happy you had time for TAST, another great story!
