Best Achievement in French Knots

Shirley Temple Sampler
stitched by Kitschygalore

I thought I'd seen a heck of a lot of perfect French knots when I saw this piece. But then I clicked next and saw:


Domo Kun

Is there an Academy Award for Best Achievement in French Knots? I hereby bestow it on Kitschygalore.


Oh, and psst! Are you scared of the French knot? Try this new French Knot tutorial on the Sublime Stitching site. There's even a version for lefties.

Hi, I'm floresita, editor of Feeling Stitchy. I'm an avid stitcher, knitter, and crafter. You can see more of my stitching on Instagram and my blog. My vintage transfer collection is on Vintage Transfer Finds.

Feel free to email me with any ideas for the blog!

  5. I did a bazillion french knots on a Sublime Stitching poodle, and I thought my hand was going to be permanently disfigured. I can't imagine doing that many!
