The lady who owned one of my local needlepoint stores always used to complain about how I made what I called French Knots. Always quick to correct & admonish she told me they were Colonial Knots.
I couldn’t tell the difference then and I still can’t.
Knots are not one of my best things.
But thanks to this free video from the folks at BeStitched I feel confident I can learn.
At over 7 minutes, it’s longer than many other stitch videos but it’s packed with great information.
