Take A Stitch Tuesday 2012 Challenge - Week 11

Week 11's stitch was the Whipped Wheel (AKA Whipped Spider Web or Ribbed Spider Web or...) I couldn't think of a lot to do with it (I'm sure, when I see the weekly highlights for this one, I will say "Why didn't *I* think of that", like i do every week but...) as it isn't really a "band" stitch so I played with some back stitching and French knots to get this:


The threads are all GAST: Blue Spruce, Raspberry Parfait, Cherry Bark and Butternut Squash... I think I liked doing the "half" wheel best!

  1. I like what you came up with!! I've only done a couple of these, though I do think I have something kitted that has several - just have no recall of WHAT that chart might be at the moment :) The half wheel is cool :)

  2. Very cool, Carol! I love that design and the stitch is really interesting. Nice job!

  3. I was thinking that a series of those half-wheels would make a good crazy quilt seam treatment --- if only they didn't take so awfully long to stitch! LOL

  4. Thanks --- it looks better in the photo than in real life (odd - usually it's the other way around! LOL)!
