TAST Week 19 - Half Chevron Stitch

Here is my Take A Stitch Tuesday work for this week - Half Chevron Stitch. I enjoyed working this stitch, it is not difficult and it works up fairly quickly. To me it is a marriage of the Chevron and the Cretan stitches - half of each. I explored several different weights of thread and reversed,  layered,  and stacked the stitch. I've used Perle 8's and 12's and once again one of my most favourite threads - Stef Francis hand-dyeds. I think if I did more of this stitch, I'd explore more beading - lots of possibilities here!

Wishing all the Mothers out there a very Happy Mother's Day.  Take some time today to put up your feet and read, stitch or whatever makes you happy.


Peace,
Linda

Very nicely done 1/2 Chevron stitches Linda! So glad that this weeks bullion stitch for TAST is one I've done before. Not that I'm good at making them but at least it's not another new stitch for me.
