Up and Down Buttonhole Stitch

I have done this stitched once before while doing TAST. I thought that I had found it difficult but when I looked back at the post about buttonhole stitch, I’d written that up and down buttonhole was my favourite variations. No surprise then that I really enjoyed working this stitch, both the silk version on my doodle cloth, and the #371 gold wire version on the sampler.
