Incidentally, along the way, I learned the difference between and Equinox Spring Equinox and a Solstice which I hadn't quite appreciated before. Embroidery is a wonderful thing!

Spring is in the air.......
and we have had three beautiful days of warm sunshine. Joy. This weeks TAST is Up and Down Bottonhole stitch, another variation I didn't know. So once again to Sharon's invaluable Stitch Dictionary and an 'Oh! I see!' moment. Then I scribbled a bit but nothing came, so I left it alone to think about and still nothing came, so I thought I would really like to show how the little bar goes across and took some thick knitting yarn with no pattern of thought in mind. It kept reminding me of something and then I realised Stonehenge!!!! So here it is. Vernal Equinox.

I love it .. .I actually got to visit Stonhenge last June when I was in the UK (I lived in Dorset for the first 23 years of my life) ... funny how you never visit things when they are just up the road! seeing this lovely little sample brought back good memories....very clever ...well done and is that duster fabric as the backgound? I can't wait to "play" with mine when I get back from my trip ...I keep looking at them haha!

Stonehenge! Yep I see it - I really like this interpretation of this stitch
ReplyDeleteThank you all, the background is just plain old felt. I do like this stitch it seems to have a jaunty air to it.
ReplyDeleteDefinately Stonehenge, I love your interpretaion of it.
ReplyDeleteI love it. I lived near stonehenge as a child, and remember driving past it often. Of course I had no appreciation of the marvel that it is back then, but like stitchety grub said, thanks for the memories.
ReplyDeleteDo you think you could do the white horse next? lol
Love your Stonehenge! Great application of this stitch.
