More TASTY Chain


Further developments in SharonB's TAST challenge:

Here in blue, you can see 4 twisted chain stitches (it might be long-legged twisted chain). I worked it in the round to get the pink flower, which I really like.


The purple flower is just 5 Lazy Daisy petals of ribbon floss placed over (and between) 5 Lazy Daisy petals of Rainbow Gallery Flair (which I call tubular panty-hose).

Then there is the French Knot Lazy Daisy, where the tie-down stitch is a French knot instead of just a straight stitch. Each peach bud is a FKLD done around a padded straight stitch. The turquoise ribbon flower shows 6 petals of FKLD with the knots in the center. The two maroon flowers show FKLD with knots in the center and then with knots on the outer edge.

Oh, you've been having a great time! Thanks for the inspiration, because I haven't really gotten into this stitch, and I needed some. =)
