Easy to do and a good stitch to show movement.
Week 37 Rice stitch. A background of navy cross stitches is topped with a grid of veriagated horizontal & vertical stitches. It gives a woven look.
Week 38 Knotted button hole band. You could pass a ribbon under the large blue stitches, or it could be stitched with a smaller distance between, for a more dense look.
Week 39 reversed button hole bar.Once again the loop/knot shows up best with a 'hard' thread. The background for the yellow stitching was button hole stitches in a half-round.
TAST #40 = Linked Double Chain: the top two lines. The lower lines: pink and navy - are my first try. I think it is like a fly stitch with a chain connecting. However, I thought it was quite nice ... so I left it in.
TAST #41 = Lace Border Stitch.I had some trouble until I realized what direction the stitch was worked in. Certainly not perfect ... needs more practice.
