April Meeting - Knotty and Nice

Why Knots?  Knots have been used in all kinds of needlework for centuries.  They add texture and variety to our needlework.  The French knot and Colonial knot are commonly used in our contemporary needlework, but I've read there are over 100 kinds of knots.  We learned a few knot stitches, some you know and one or two you may knot (pun intended).  Have you heard of the "Gordian", "Sorbello" or "Turks Head"?  Also learned the the “Forbidden Stitch” as it's known in China. 

Everyone is creating beautiful borders.  Here is one completely finished by Dorothy.
