Sardinian Knot Stitch
Based on personal experience, the authors present a book for those who approach this traditional Sardinian embroidery for the first time. Every aspect for the realization of a piece of embroidery done in Sardinian Knot Stitch is clearly illustrated with the aid of diagrams, photographs and instructions. In addition to the preface which outlines the origins and traditional uses of this stitch, the principal motifs and borders used on stitched pieces are also detailed with their names in both Sardinian and English. A few "non-traditional" projects are proposed which are simple to implement and complete with instructions and diagrams that will help to perfect the execution of the work. Sardinian Knot Stitch aims to be the first comprehensive manual of its kind on this traditional Sardinian embroidery technique.
