Needlework WiP: "VS 4 Elements: Fire" - Band 12

Another simple but effective band on the Victoria Sampler piece.

This one is called "Modified Smyrna Cross", but I learned this stitch as "Tied Cross".  Either way, it's effective both in a small over two format or this larger over 4 threads version.

This band was done with a very interesting thread.   It's a Krenik thread, the same size as the larger #8 Faux Gold Braid.   This one is made of a holographic fiber which subtlety shifts color in longer color runs through ruby and red-violet shades.
