As someone who is rubbish at french knots, I am all admiration! Well done!

Wow! Thanks! This is the best place in the world for encouragement. Yes, they're my first and I don't have a hoop so you should have seen me using my knee in the whole process.

I used two strands. This is all the same brand of silk, but the burgundy, in particular, is thicker, less shiny, and less slippery than some of the other colors.
I did an entire "Mary Queen of Scots" by Papillon with this silk and color and it is one of my favorites.

Thanks! I think you're going to love it! The instructions are excellent and it's just plain fun to learn new stitches.
