This stocking is a heat-transfer from Pippin Studio. The heart is stitched using Kreinik metallic in the nobuko stitch. The cuff is also Kreinik stitched in the diagonal mosaic with a skipped stitch for the dots. Those shown in white had no rhyme or reason so I made an executive decision and spaced them evenly using gold metallic. They seem to be receding too much, so I may go back and do French knots over the gold stitches without frogging them. The world will never know.
The past 3 years I have participated in Nablopomo in November whereby one does a blog entry everyday in the month. I won't be doing that this year because other things in life have taken control. I will continue my twice a week entries (I started to write bi-weekly, but I saw an opera this afternoon and my brain is in overload and I doubted myself. Ah, well!).
How accurate are you finding the heat-transfer process to be?
ReplyDeleteThey vary by manufacturer. Pippins are usually quite good, but I wanted to impose a pattern rather than randomness. In good company are also easy to stitch.
