Looks brilliant. Well done on the french knots

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

For french knots.

I love the colors!! I hate doing french knots, but yours look so good!

Very nice!! Great french knots!!

You have done a brilliant job with the french knots and it does look natural so hurraayyyy for artistic licence.

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. http://www.123stitch.com/cgi-perl/itemd ... item=PC003" target="_blank" target="_blank

Oh gorgeous! They do look thicker than 2 strands.

Fantastic work!!!!!!
