Maybe some honeysuckle buds or a pink split by a gusset. But not the worms. I bear them a grudge for not being what I thought they were. [...] [...] And a few butterflies.

Tricia has spent time examining the various bits and it appears that there are three different types of worms or caterpillars. We are now calling them; plain ones, worms with heads and Fancy. The worms that have been stitched thus far are the plain ones. Once their basic shape has been done using Ceylon stitch they are then further embellished by wrapping - this creates the "bumps". The stitch an exampleis done in a similar to fashion to wrapped spiders and the thread color that is used is of high contrast to the caterpillar body; as cream ( Bisse) body and Black middle (Noir). “Funny wrapping” means it is different than other stitches we have done on the jacket parts as of this moment.
