| Cloak Stitches |
I inadvertently misled you yesterday about which of the stitches I tested I am probably going to use on Luna's cloak lining. I posted the photo with two of the three stitches upright but one was on its side as that's the easiest way to stitch it. And that's the stitch that looks like the best choice for Luna's cloak lining. The stitch I have been working on is the June 2009 stitch from Tony Mineiri. It's called Henderson Variant. In the photo above I worked a line on the diagonal which is how it is diagrammed but in yesterday's test stitching, I was working it with the diagram and canvas turned on their sides.

Here is how Henderson Variant looks in two shades of purple. The next step is to stitch some of the hair and see how it looks with the HV stitch. You may notice another line of thicker thread in the upper left. I tested Empress wool (from Pure Palette) there but it is a little too heavy a look for the cloak lining. I may use it on the outside of the cloak, however.
