This photo made me want to grab a hoop and stitch some French-knot flowers! You, too? If this stitch is new for you or if you could use a refresher, see Mary Corbet‘s updated video tutorial on her Needle ‘n’ Thread blog.

Thank you thank you for pointing me this direction! It’s something I have no experience in, but the desire to learn.
I just love the site sharing that goes on here on Craft Gossip!
French knots can be tricky, but they certainly do make a project. This was a good find. Have you ever tried to look up how to make French knots in a book? It can be tough to figure out. The video makes it MUCH easier — thanks!
