Well... just a perky little fish, full of personality... ready to be knotted to perfection! This little guy has been busy as Teresa's beginning class design... and now, he's finall y made the 'big time' by joining her full line of designs! What is knotwork? It's a stitching technique pioneered by Teresa Layman as she wanted tiny, authentic-looking rugs for her dollhouses and room boxes. It consists of lots of French and Colonial knots to outline and fill in designs. It's a lot more fun that you'd think - very soothing to just stitch like a paint-by-number - no counting, no mistaken stitches - start with the outlines and then just fill in with the right colour. Not sure if you've covered the whole area? Hold your work up to a light and peer through it - the "bare" spots will stick out - and it's really easy to just add a few more knots in those spots to cover them up. Package contains printed design on fabric and complete instructions. Show more
