Ostrich Plumes

I have actually knit a little sleeveless top using this stitch.  The stitch itself is very rich.  I think that it suggests a deep ornate fabric such as Damask or flocked velvet, perhaps something Victorian when feathers and plumage were used extensively in fashion. Here is the stitch from the Barbara Walker site. And here

Candle of Glory

This is a stitch that I have always wanted to use in lace.  It’s large and imposing and has an amazing name, “Candle of Glory.”  The name itself suggests ceremony – candle light parades, vigil lights lit in honour of someone, special festive times, when candles cast a magical light.
