I intend to add two things when I get a chance. More stitch diagrams (They're tedious, BTW). And photos of stitches in progress.
I will fiddle later with the article on smocking on Dutch and German garments.
And, I'm thinking, a contrast/comparison of smocking, needle weaving/darning, and needle weaving across pleats.
Plus a separate piece on honeycomb smocking.
Thoughts?
