Pine needle coiling Diamond stitch

Wow, I would love to see you scroll through your basket photos...

Do I undertand correctly that you stitch once all the way around the coil once then reverse and stitch a second time until you reach the start of that coil - and then begin a new coil? And by the way, thank you for sharing - your work is lovely!

Amazing work....wow. Thank you for the great demo....Perhaps a tripod, with a selfie stick attachment would work on the recording..??

Ive tried that and just about everything else. Its difficult to get the closeups with a tripod. what i really need is a second set of hands! :-)

Carol, thank you for your video! I wish I could see it better but I really want to try this stitch. . I am new to coiling but am on my 14th basket since January 2017. I really want to learn the diamond stitch but I work from the inside out. I noticed you stitch from the outside..... will this be a problem? Thanks

The lighting is really bad in the video. I can't even see how ur making the diamond stitch!

So grateful for your videos... When I started 2 years ago there were one or two videos available. You have inspired me to try some new things. Thank you!

Hi, Carol. Thank you for posting your tutorials. They have been VERY useful! I am currently coiling a basket using the diamond stitch. I finished the two rows that created one pattern of the diamond. I ran into a problem in starting the third row and ended up having to double my stitch ( put a second stitch right beside an existing stitch) in order to get my needle in the right place to begin the third row. What did I do wrong? How do you transition from row two (the completed diamond) to row three (beginning a new diamond)? Should I hide the stitch inside the coil?

Thank you for sharing this video on how to make the diamond stitch. I was wondering how you would add sinew? Do you tie knots or do you thread the old and new string tightly throughout the basket?

[@justcasey6292]

are you grabbing any needles when you come through the peaks or just the sinew?

[@bustoc]

You can do it either way. If you do pick up any needles, i would make it very few. The look will be slightly different between the two ways. You just need to figure out your personal preference.
