I’ve continued with my Wessex Stitchery this week. I started with Sheaf stitch in a slightly thicker pérle in a yellowy green, more or less following the line of the previous row.

Then there are two rows of elongated cross stitches in pale green pérle, followed by Tête de Boeuf Stitch (bull’s head stitch). Maybe I’ve adapted it slightly and made it in to a definite V ……

……and then gone back and put the “heads” in; you can see the first one on the left. I did tiny ones on the right hand side.

It’s a lovely variegated thread……

…….which is more obvious where I’ve done more on the left hand side. Then I’ve used a greyish blue variegated 21st Century stranded cotton, just one strand for an irregular row of blanket stitch, the other way up / down to the rows at the bottom. One more row, I think, before I start the sky.
