Challenge Description: Our 2013-2014 challenge is to use stitches from TAST (or Take a Stitch Tuesday) to create 4 original needlework pieces during the next 12 months.
Background: We will be using Sharon B's Pin Tangle
challenge, which is called TAST or Take a Stitch Tuesday. In 2012, she
started the TAST challenge, so every Tuesday she presented directions for a new
stitch - with photos, her samples of the stitch and asked others to post their
work in the comment section with links to their photos. A beginning stitcher might
just practice doing the stitch correctly.
A more advanced stitcher might
start combining a particular stitch into rows; or mirror the stitches; or change
the size or curving of the stitches.
TAST samplers that she has done - be inspired!
