I'm glad you all liked that stitch from the last post! I didn't want to do a show & tell until I know what it was called. Found it! It's a knot called the "Sorbello Stitch". It's not in any of my books, but I did find it online to ensure I have the spelling right. I did this on a weird surface that I wanted to look like snow. It's a dryer sheet. I said to my husband, "LOOK honey! Doesn't this look like a snowbank!?" His slow reply was, "it looks like a dryer sheet". LOL Oh well. Ya can't please everyone! If you are trying this out, it's easiest to use a short needle because of all the maneuvering there is. This stitch takes four times as long to do as a French Knot. But it's easy, and was perfect for what I wanted. So here goes. First, image four points like the corners of a square...

What a neat stitch!
Brilliant. Now I'll have to design something specially so I can use these knots!
Oh, my! I know how to do sorbello stitch, but I didn't recognize it. Perhaps I need to practice it more! I think that it's easier than a French knot, even if a bit longer to do, because one doesn't need to worry about creating donuts. (Although, sometimes donuts are just the right thing and then I have to work on not getting nice tight knots.)
You have described everything in deeply way this is really informative article for improving skill of beginners.
