TAST-2012-Week-29-Basque Stitch
This is one of the simplest stitches. It is easy to stitch and once we make a few stitches, it is quite rhythmic- something like knitting. This is one of my favorite stitches as it is easy and there is lot you can do with it.
Here is one of my attempts:
29th Week's challenge announced by Sharon in TAST 2012 is Basque Stitch. Visit her site here for more info:
Here is one of my attempts:
I used this stitch to decorate the neck and pockets of my kurtha. The fabric is pure heavy cotton known as Khadi-that is hand spun. You can see the colour in the below pictures better.
I made a mistake here. I could have followed the curve while stitching at the neck. But somehow I did not. So it is broken. It would have been more beautiful if I had followed the curve with out a break. But if I remember this was my first attempt and that too with out much practise.
A closer look at the stitch. I used tow stitches of Basque -one with yellow and the other with green.
Here is a look at the stitch around the pocket. Here I used single stitches inbetween the green one.

This was one of my first attempts long time back-years ago. Now I would love to do a sampler. Let me try it and post it....Keep a watch on my blog.....

The Basque stitch in particular is good for overlapping or doing in double rows. Very attractive edgings.
Yes you are right. Thanks a lot dear.
