I thought the twisted silks wouldn't look as nice for L&S, but maybe if you use such a fine thread, it doesn't matter as much if it's twisted? I'm definitely going to try that!<br /><br />Thanks again!Kimberly Servellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08429456479703363604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465680991340085889.post-23405255568297327202012-02-05T07:43:05.985-05:002012-02-05T07:43:05.985-05:00Hi, I'm so glad I found your blog. Your work ...Hi, I'm so glad I found your blog. Your work is beautiful, and this scarf is looking lovely. Delicate but textural at the same time. I enjoy L&S stitch, and often use Silk Mill silk thread for it. They're a twisted filament silk, perhaps a hair thicker than a strand of DMC, and available is 600 colors. The filament gives them a nice glow, the twist cuts down on snags, and the range of colors allows for great shading. I'm not affiliated with them, just a big fan- oh, they also will color match for you if you send a photo or swatch.Lisa Tresslernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465680991340085889.post-77370022539337348112012-02-02T12:49:44.002-05:002012-02-02T12:49:44.002-05:00Kimberly - this is a beautiful blog, and I would l...Kimberly - this is a beautiful blog, and I would like to feature it in my Monday Treasures series on my blog.

The side view really does give a better idea of the texture of Elizabethan embroidery.<br /><br /><br /><br />Elmsley - Yes the rayon is making it stretchy. Wasn't a problem on the scarf I made with same fabric. Probably because it wasn't stretched across as large an area. <br /><br />Very perceptive of you to realize the bottom petals look better. The topmost was the first one I did.<br /><br />Sorry about the typo or brain fog mistake. I'm signing off now to take care of it immediately.<br /><br />KimberlyKimberly Servellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08429456479703363604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465680991340085889.post-55729261806413795772012-01-22T13:50:37.005-05:002012-01-22T13:50:37.005-05:00"There's a bit of rayon in the linen and ..."There's a bit of rayon in the linen and in addition to that causing me problems with stretching on the frame, " -- is the rayon making it stretchy?<br /><br />I think your honeycomb are fine. Maybe the topmost (leftmost) having a bit more of a rounded top? The long and short stitches look plenty random enough, and the long stitches look like they are going deep enough into the yellow, and ditto the yellow/cream. The bottom two are particularly good.<br /><br />BTW - thanks for including me in your sidebar - very sweet of you. But I'm a 16thC girl, with stumpwork and Tudor stitches taking me into the 17th. Principally 16th.
