Twisted Chain Stitch, Granitos and Satin Stitch

A new page and new stitches for this page of the Stitch Journal. Twisted Chain Stitch is a lovely variation on the ordinary chain stitch. It's easy to do and gives quite a different effect.
Granitos is really just three straight stitches all done in the same space, but when you lay the stitches down carefully you get a delightful little bud or leaf. It's really pretty....
A little bit of Satin Stitch completes the foundation of what is going to be a flowery wreath.
I have a ko-fi page if you feel you would like to support my channel. Thank you.

Hi Marion! This page is a beautiful design, it feels so peaceful! I started to call everything I learn watching you "Marion's principles". I'm altering a top for my daughter-in-law applying some of "Marion's principles" and I'm so grateful for all your stitching demonstrations. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! ❤

[@marionsworld24]

Well goodness gracious... I feel like a scientist now.... I'll have to come up with a theory or two...☺️ You made me smile..thank you...

[@viviancothros5541]

@@marionsworld24 Marion, experimenting is an element of the scientific method. You're not afraid of experimenting, so in a sense, your approach to making is scientific. 🙂

Thank you, Marion. Another lovely visit and some new stitches, yay! I'm happy you repeated how to do the fly stitch. I was having trouble with it and it is my favourite so far. The twisted chain st. is another excellent one for free-form lines and I will play with exaggerating the slant of the loop. Hope you have good weather for the garden.

[@marionsworld24]

It's great in a thicker thread or ribbon too.

Hello Marion. I really think this is going to be an absolute beauty. I’m so looking forward to following the development of this wreath over the coming weeks. Keep up with the garden - weather permitting! The videos you have done based in your garden are lovely. Sadly, I seem to be one of those people able to kill any plant by just looking at it, so I do enjoy what your green fingers at work. Have a great week.

[@jacquelineknox1977]

The wreath is coming along so well and looking so pretty. It is so exciting watching and learning completely new stitches and I thank you for showing how to do them so plainly. I am looking forward to seeing the additions to the wreath. Take care xx

What a beautiful wreath this is going to be. It's beautiful already with just the leaves and twigs! I haven't been able to do your stitch journal week by week as I'd hoped, but this is a page I will definitely do to hang on the wall, it's so lovely. I'm painting my hallway green and want to have nature themed artwork - this will fit in beautifully. Thanks for all your ideas and for teaching us the lovely stitches, Marion. Your top is gorgeous, btw😍

Really looking forward to seeing the flowers because I know you will make them look lovely. I always look forward to watching your videos on a Wednesday and Sunday.

Thank you Marion for your video and company today. This wreath is really lovely, it looks so delicate but really pretty. Well never heard of granitos stitches, something new to have a try at. I meant to say KZbin's create and craft with Christine shows her Fleur Woods piece if you want to see the sort of thing Fleur does. Just look down her playlist and you will come to it.

The wreath is already looking so beautiful. And I learned a few new things as well. I’m super excited about your new cutlery box. What a great find! Even that lid can maybe be something once you remove everything on the inside. It could be additional storage or a tray of some sort? I can’t wait to see what you do with it. Please make sure and show us while you are making it. I think I’m going to go on the lookout at my local thrift shops for an old cutlery box!

How beautiful, dear Marion. It was so pleasant to watch you creating everything with those beautiful yarns. The buds look so lovely and delicate and those variations of green look fresh, natural and unique. The result is already very beautiful and I want to thank you for showing us new stitches and techniques. I am especially in love with those little buds! Now back to sleep before my shift. After four bad nichts (change from night shift to early shift, plus some thoughts and Matters, which kept my mind going) I had finally fallen into very deep sleep.early, as did my son for different reasons. When he woke up around 21:00, it was still daylight and he thought, he had overslept, rushed into the kitchen, what I heard, saw the daylight and thought I had overslept as well. So, after we both had a mean, panick- jump start, we started to get our senses back and laughed heartily. For Walking me Up, at least He walked my dog... However, I needed some.relaxing distraction now and hope to find back to sleep, since my alarm will ring in less then four and a half hours. (3 am). Your video was relaxing, soothing, very inspiring, pleasant and beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I am delighted for the outview of another gsrden video and very curious about the development. Have lovely, joyful and fulfilled days and moments, dear Marion Beautiful antique box, btw Greetings from another rainy spot. Hilde
