I finished the third Attic Windows design over the weekend and it’s pictured above.
This means I’m halfway through this series. While I’m not going to share the name of the series with you, I am going to tell you that the stitches in each one have a theme.
The theme for this one is Baskets. BTW, that’s also a clue to the theme.
All three of the stitches give you a woven basket effect. In the case of the Triple Woven Plait, by actually being a plaited stitch. In the case of Roman through the changes in direction. In the case of Bamboo it’s “faux weaving” enhanced by using two threads.
The three of them are off to the finisher and it’s one more thing crossed off my list of things I have to finish stitching before I move.

Where can I learn how to do the faux bamboo stitch? I can’t find it anywhere.

Jane Wood used this stitch for a border and blogged about it here: http://chillyhollownp.blogspot.com/2009/12/robins-faux-bamboo-border-erases-leigh.html
Keep Stitching,
