The top one is week 48 Knotted cable Chain stitch which looks very nice in this variegated thread as each one has come out a different colour.
Not a hard stitch to do either.
The background fabric is a lovely lemon shade but here it just looks a dirty colour.
Week 49 is pistil stitch and I quite enjoy doing this stitch maybe it's the French knot bit on the end.
I started out thinking I would do some flowers and after a few of them they began to look like snowflakes so then I found some fancy thread I think it's called Glisten Gloss but I'm not sure ,but they definitely looked like snowflakes-if you click on the picture to enlarge it you can see the sparkle.
The fabric is a fine even weave linen and the other white thread is perle 5.

Great samples Doreen! I'm very impressed with your TAST work! Well done!
Nice! Your snowflakes look like the real thing. I know that for a fact because I can just step outside my door to do a comparison.
Hi Doreen
Just a quick note to say...I'm sooo impressed that you have continued with TAST. I like your snow flakes! I can write comments on your blog now..though I don't have a public blog. I will watch your space for your Calendar Girls 2008, too.
