Another stitch from the Found Poetry list is “tilting ladders.” However, I have seen it in other stitch dictionaries called “chinese lanterns.” Here it is from the Barbara Walker site where it is called “tilting ladders.”<\/p>\n

\nThis is a fascinating stitch and one that I have always wanted to use in something…. It is really knit straight, with no fancy acrobatics. It’s the stitches themselves that actually twist the fabric from side to side. I would like to experiment with the stitch and maybe put space or another stitch in between the ladders and see what happens.  As much as I like the stitch I find it “busy”; but then here are some pictures of chinese lanterns and all the activity that goes with them – they are very busy.<\/p>\n

\nWe were in Kensington Market one Sunday in Winter and happened upon this outdoor shop which spilled over into the next front yard or maybe this was another shop – it was so bright and colourful for February in Toronto…<\/p>\n

\n…..and it was busy – so maybe I should just leave the stitch alone and do it in an amazing colour!!!  Here is a ladder, so it’s not left out. It’s a fire escape in old Quebec, near an artists’ community – you decide what the stitch should be called.<\/p>\n

Have an amazing day!!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
