Today I started to add some baby lady bugs to the next section of the bloom ring of Round the Garden. I went to my stitching blog to remind myself of the number of wraps I had used only to discover that I not made any references to the baby ladies. I used YLI Perle Crown Rayon. I do not know what the weight of this thread is. It is thinner than DMC 5 Perle Cotton. I am guessing that it is comparable to a 8-12 weight. It looks very similar to my 12 wt Sew Sassy.
Antennae are colonial knots. (I want to practice Pekinese knots so I will try them out on the blossom ring.) I then made a 3 wrap scant quarter inch and a 4 wrap scant quarter inch stitch to create the head.
Then I created a 6 wrap quarter inch body then I made 4 wrap and a 6 wrap quarter inch stitches in red for the wing. At least that is what I think I did,
Bottom line 1/8 inch = 3 or 4 wraps. 1/4 inch = 6 to 8 wraps.
