Dear Friends,
Don't you just love doing Honeycomb stitch??? I do.
I did a big mob of it today. I just find it so gorgeous with it's
tessellating hexagons - not to mention the way it fills whole areas so quickly.
Perhaps you have a favourite stitch you'd like to tell us about
David in Ballarat
Hi All,
Yes I love honeycomb. (David, are you working on the Toender
again?) To me, it is always SO point ground, although you see it in
other laces. too. The first time i worked it in a little Bucks
edging, I wrote in ecstasy to the list about all the bubbles on my pillow.
And I am definitely in the halfstitch camp. I love half stitch in
Chantilly, where it positively scintillates, since the tilt of each
bit of half stitch changes. It's kind of the same effect as Thai
silk where the warp and the weft are different colors (sometimes
called shot silk?). In Chantilly, you add and remove pairs madly to
keep the half stitch consistent, instead of letting it inflate and
deflate to cover the available territory.
But what could keep happy enough to skip meals is Binche
snowflakes! sigh..........
Patty
