Hardanger Twisted Bars revisted
A few weeks ago I posted the following query:
I decided to try my hand at some Hardanger and so have been working my second project which is the Hardanger Box Lid Design of May/June 2003 by Roz Watnemo http://www.nordicneedle.com/free/2003_05/index.shtml . I've been doing it in DMC 504 Perle Cotton #5 and white #8 on moss green Lugana. I've thoroughly enjoyed working the piece and learning the new stitches. My question is regarding the center 'flower' motif that calls for twisted bars in the elongated rectangles surrounding the center Kloster block. I have stitch diagrams for squares with the twisted bar stitching, but am not sure how to apply that to a long rectangle. I can't tell from the photograph how to work the stitch, so wondered if anyone had tried a stitch such as this before and could give some advice. The pattern only says to work twisted bars in this section, no diagrams. I found the diagram at http://www.classicstitches.com/know_...o ssary&let=T for "twisted bars" but couldn't understand how to apply this to the project. I tried writing to Nordic Needle for advice and what they described didn't make sense when I consulted the above diagram. It wasn't until I bought a copy of _Advanced Charted Hardanger Embroidery_ yesterday that I found a picture of what the Nordic Needle folks call "twisted bars" is actually stitched like the "interlaced hemstitch" at http://www.classicstitches.com/know_...o ssary&let=I *without* the hemstitched border at the top and bottom of the drawn thread area. *Now* it all makes sense and I think I'll be able to finish up the piece fairly easily now. Thought I would pass it on in case anyone else has the same trouble. Cheers, -- Laury |

Oh my! I am sorry that I missed your original post! I probably could have
help with that one! I have done a couple of pieces that have the interlaced hemstitch, and they have also been referred to as twisted bars in other places.... I am glad that you persevered and figured it out! I am sure that your project has turned out beautifully! Dannielle "Laury Walkey" wrote in message ...

Gosh, I wish you had too! I hope to get time either tomorrow or on Tuesday to finish it up. I may

Yesterday I went through a few books, wrote all the in formation down,
brought it to my computer. Well, somehow that paper is lost, but I do remember what I wrote, just might get a name spelled wrong: Dillmont illustrates and explains the stitch, using ribbon and thread, but does not name it. Thomas calls it "twisted border" Bryson calls it "twisted bar" Ilse Ather illustrates but doesn't name it. So, obviously, there are differences in what to call it, if you call it anything at all. g Dianne Laury Walkey wrote: Gosh, I wish you had too!
