Week Seventeen - Wheatear Stitch

[MTRuth]

The new stitch is Wheatear Stitch. That is a funny looking word

Here's Sharon's post:

Sharon's explanation in her stitch dictionary:

Mary Corbet's video - she calls it wheat stitch and I'm not sure they are doing it the same way.

I think this will take a bit of practice, the 'chain stitch' part isn't how I expected.
I think I expected more of a fly-stitch start, then a chain stitch instead of straight bottom to the Y of the fly.

Wow, how interesting. I love it and see lots of potential here! Zed, I too had a preconceived notion of how that would be worked after seeing Sharon's pictures, and I was completely wrong. lol

I really like the combination of using the stitch with beads. It looks great.

This stitch is beautiful! I too like the beads incorporated into the stitch.
