This looks amazing! It looks like it combines the cretan stitch and the chevron.

Hi Sharon, thank you so much for every new stitch every week. My half chevron is on my blog http://malinaplass.blogspot.com/

I really like the orderly patterns you show, especially the one in the stich dictionary, but I decided to do curves instead.

Hi Sharon
I have done my Half Chevron stitch and posted it on my blog—just imagine we are half way through the stitches–where has the time gone to.

Half-Cretan was fun and is so neat with Aida cloth.
I hope the last 24 weeks are slower than the first 26 or TAST will be finished too soon.

Had a go at this stitch another one I hadn’t seen befor (though I did know chevron stitch already) so it made me think a bit about the stitch structure. Unusualy for me I also did some sketching of the possible patterns the stitch might make. The stitch sample is up on my flicker account and on the group flicker

I started my long and short stitch piece. I haven’t gotten very far jet but to make up for that I try to show the complete design process. There will be more postings about that piece as I go. It is here:

My Half chevron is up, a few slightly odd stitches as I forgot where to put what but it is done.

I was too late to join in the monthly beading challenge, but perhaps it is just as well as my life has got very busy.

Here are my samples of Long and Short stitch and Half Chevron stitch. Thank You, Sharon! I learned to make the Long and Short stitch only thanks to this challenge, it seemd to be impossible to me to make it correctly, but I managed!

My half chevron samples are posted on my blog: http://www.readingandstitchinginil.com. I used up left over perle cotton to experiment on 18 count canvas and then tried free embroidery on a piece of Silkweavers dyded linen.

Here’s my half chevron sample. I’m afraid I’ve skipped long and short for the moment but it was either that or never catch up! http://faffingabout.blogspot.com/2007/07/tast-half-chevron-stitch.html
