This year the black flies and mosquitoes are vicious, numerous, and ravenous! Makes gardening a lot less enjoyable.

I created the frill with multiple ro...Hi Marjolein,<br />I created the frill with multiple rows of chains sewn side by side.<br />The stitch is called the Fancy Picot Stitch, and is not often used, from what I read. But I like to add it as a decorative element to my embroidery. And to make funky flowers and trims.<br />so, if d= 1st half of a ds, and s=2nd half of a ds, and --- = a long picot then:<br />ds (---dd---ss)x where x= number of repeats desired <br />If you are using a needle, this creates alternating picots on each side of the needle. Press these together before pushing down and off the needle and you can also make rings with this technique, too. <br />The flat knot is 1 1/4 inches square (~ 3.2 mm).<br />Thanks<br /> <br />HugsSuztatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15703965965474209546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1063759319492577156.post-86970963128860582332013-05-20T09:08:26.559-04:002013-05-20T09:08:26.559-04:00The tatted frill reminds me of a dahlia.
