I also became obsessed with making moss at one point. I really loved the look of it. I made so many french knots and turkey work it was nuts and it took such a long time. (I closed my etsy by the way)
I’ve moved on from moss and I still love its aesthetic. But it was so much work I turned to short and long later for needle painting.
How about you? Was there a technique or stitch that made you want to try it? Did you succeed?
