First lesson of a new term, continuing with the whitework. During the winter break I thought I had made quite a bit of progress, but had paused for a while as I was not completely satisfied with the Burden Stitch on the left-hand hillock despite three attempts at trying to do it. So discussion with Tracy and Yes out it came completely. We agreed that the diagonal bars were just too heavy! Tracy suggested that I stitch a horizontal and vertical grid with a very fine lace thread as guide lines for my diagonals. The thread is so fine it is almost invisible, but is doing the job! By the end of the day I had managed to get the new diagonal bars in, this time stitched with 1 strand of cotton floss. Homework is to finish the burden stitch. Photos to follow...
