The children love what I’ve done so far. Invariably they want to touch it!
Not added much.
A cluster of silver grey bullion knots…
…a tiny woven spiders’ web nestled in a cloud of french knots…
…a line of silver chain stitch keeping the french knots contained…
… french knots like tight curls.
The children find it intriguing and inspiring. They ask me to teach them the stitches they like best.
One of our more challenging Y6s was intrigued by the bullion knots. I showed him twice. He then did a third which was almost indistinguishable from mine.
I don’t know who was prouder.







Anyone would want to touch it. Well done to the bullion knot hero.
fabulous. what is the size of this piece?
Thank you both! At the moment it’s about 3 inches by 2 and a half inches. Finished size will be about 4 inches by 3 inches.
How wonderful for both of you!
