Ok, graphics artist I am not - but I get a lot of questions about what solid squares are and how to work them - likewise triangles and other shapes, and what the Rose Garden is when I refer to them in patterns. It struck me that Diana VanderVoort does not cover them in her books at all..... the good one for them is Mary Wood (and I highly recommend her book to everyone.
        Here are couple of quick graphics to illustrate them - black lines are marking lines on the ball - blue and pink are stitching lines. Remember that the lines in the diagrams can represent one thread or a group of several or more rows. Stiches are place so that threads lie next to each other forming a solid element. Solid elements are worked on the number of marking threads to give the shape - four for square, three for triangle, five for pentagon, six for hexagon, eight for octagon.
        Rose Gardens are can be formed on then if you rotate around the threads for your starting point as you stitch - for example, for a square Rose, work a four point square to desired depth, then turn 45 degrees to begin the next row(s) to desired depth, repeat. Use single herringbone as usual for these elements. For more detailed information refer to Craft of Temari by Mary Wood.
