In the Coat Ladies/City Snow Class, I encourage the participants to find their own stitches for some areas. It's easy to be creative with the hair and the hats since they are great areas for threads and fur like stitches. In class, we look at several different books. Knots, Fur and Turkey Work by Meredit Barnhill Willett is one of the best books for searching for a stitch. Meredith has included photos using the various stitches so the stitcher can see how the stitch actually looks. It is quite inspiring.
In our class on Monday, we played with bullion knots and the various spider web stitches.
