I had to look up a few tutorials online for this stitch. I just couldn't figure out how it was done. But once I figured it out, it was actually easier than I thought it would be!
My first wheel I used 4 strands of orange variegated floss.
You will see in the photo below, I have an opening in the middle of the wheel. I didn't connect all my spokes (straight stitches) in the center.
I stitched another wheel for practice. My second wheel I used 6 strands of solid orange floss and made sure my spokes of the wheel were connected in the center.
I think I like how the second one looks. Much better! Looks a lot neater. And it seemed easier to do this stitch with more strands of floss.

See ya next week!
Always nice to see your work.
ReplyDeleteThe solid orange is neat and even, the variegated has charm and you could place a bead in the centre if you don't like the empty space.
This stitch is perfect for working in unusual threads. Have you ever tried knitting wool, thin ribbon or a thick embroidery thread? Give it a try and see!
Thanks! I always appreciate your comments and suggestions!
