Oyster Stitch

Take a Stitch Tuesday, Week 15. Its only about 4 weeks late....

I do like the grid layout of this sample. The original idea was to do one oyster per box in a different thread. However I really struggled with this stitch. I eventually worked each individual stage separately and manged to work one stitch. However it all went abit haywire when I enlarged it and worked it loosely. I quite like the effect but I can't see me using this stitch spontaneously.

I like the large stitches... they remind me of Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
