Today's stitch comes from a piece Laura Taylor is working on with a student. And it's absolutely charming. It's almost nothing but it's also almost perfect.

The diagram includes two versions of the stitch and illustrates the stitch's scalability. The diagram on the left includes stitches over three rows and one row. The other version includes stitches over four and two rows. The stitched sample on the right reflects the first diagram (over three and one row). It's sweet and simple and I love it.
The stitched sample is from a sky. It would make wonderful water with two different blue metallics, or even two metallics of different sizes. It would also serve well as a sky or mountain stitch. The key is to use a lightweight thread. For example, consider using Elegance on 13-mesh or Petite Silk Lame on 18-mesh. .
