I have to be honest that when I saw Oyster stitch for the first time, I wasn’t too keen on it. In fact, I cursed for having had to do another chain stitch. (I kind of pointless cursing as this IS voluntary and there ISN’T anyone breathing down my neck and forcing to do this). But we crafters are a weird bunch and I stuck with this.
I don’t know when did I change my mind. Was it after the first stitch? Or the eleventh? It doesn’t matter now because the end result is simply amazing.
The texture!!! I could keep running my hand over this for hours. If I was to make one of those sensory books, this stitch would be a front-runner to be featured there. The slightly loose structure gives a sense of coolness which is hard to describe but if you do stitch a sampler like this, you’ll know what I mean.
I recommend this stitch, I really do. If I knew how to gush, I’d totally do it right now. Just go and learn this stitch yourself, you won’t regret it.
My other samplers are here and the next stitch to show is Algerian Eye.
Till next time!
Good oyster stitching. You have made them very neatly.
I’m very pleased with them too
I just love you pretty hooped raindrops. I”m inspired to try this one out!
Let me know what you come up with!
Those are totally gorgeous! I love the color you chose for the thread too – what number thread is that?
I already threw the band away! Honestly don’t have any idea.
