Chapter 1 - All Tied Up (Tied Stitches) by Tony Minieri

I have never seen anything that Tony turns his hand to that doesn't teach me a thing or two and this chapter is no exception.  Try working Curtain Stitch on page 17 and then "bricking" or off-set the next row so that the blocks don't line up.  

Tony Minieri gives us his interpretation on the following needlepoint stitches:

Lazy Daisy, Fly, Free-form Fly, Plaited Fly, Feather, Renaissance, Rococo (Queen), Wheat Sheaf, Steepled Wheat Sheaf, Shell, Bouclé, Arrow, Alternating Arrow Half-drop, Curtain, Pineapple, Siennese, Breton
