Sharon Boggon of Pintangle(dot)com is offering a new round of Take A Stitch Tuesday (TAST) this year. Every week, Sharon shares instructions for two new embroidery stitches. TAST offers basic stitches and Beyond TAST teaches a more advanced stitch.
Although I may not have time to complete every stitch this year, I decided to begin working on a fabric book with samples from the 2022 TAST and Beyond TAST stitches. (Click on any photo for a larger view.)
Chain stitches worked with white DMC size 5 pearl cotton created a snowman. Straight stitches with 2 strands of orange DMC embroidery floss added a nose. A single strand of black DMC embroidery floss was couched down to create a smile. And black size 10/0 beads created buttons and eyes.
A sample of the linked chain stitch was worked with 2 strands of DMC Coloris #4514 variegated embroidery floss.
The beaded linked chain stitch was worked with the same floss and clear size 10/0 beads.
A single fly stitch was worked with 2 stands of Breezy Artiste variegated satin floss #769331.
A fly stitched leaf was worked with a strand of green Anchor size 8 pearl cotton.
A single snowflake was created with a strand of DMC silver metallic thread.
A sample of the Italian border stitch was worked with 2 strands of the Breezy Artiste variegated satin floss #769331. Clear blue size 10/0 beads were added where the two rows of the border stitch met in the center.
If you are interested in learning hand embroidery, I strongly encourage you to check out TAST. You may find the TAST FAQs here or Sharon's Stitch Dictionary here.
If you are participating with TAST 2022, I would love to know!
Thank you for stopping by.

What a great start to your TAST project. I loved learning lots of different stitches with TAST and I still put them all to good use! Have a lovely day Renee! Hugs Christine xx
It is great to see TAST stitches again. I have been wondering if I should do the Beyond TAST this year, but have already found that I am too busy to take on a commitment like that. I will be enjoying looking at your beautiful work, though!
Your work is always beautiful to see. I love the snowman and icy beading.Have a safe and good 2022
You will have great fun with TAST - I played along several years ago when Sharon first ran the series. Still refer to the stitches I did then.
Looking great!
These look wonderful! My hands are too shaky and will be for a while, but after surgery on 10th and some months of healing, I hope to stitch more!
