The first row of stitching band (which is not wobbly just photographed that way!) is a line of a stitch listed as Eastern stitch on page 224 of Complete Guide to Embroidery Stitches (Reader’s Digest)
The second row is Sorbello stitch. I wanted to see what they looked like side by side but decided the wool was not going to show it up, so I left it be. I did not rip it out as records of things that don’t quite work are as important as things that do.
