title: Smocking content: Smocking Smocking is an embroidery technique used to gather fabric so that it can stretch. Before elastic, smocking was commonly used in cuffs, bodices, and necklines in garments where buttons were undesirable. Smocking developed in England and has been practised since the Middle Ages and is unusual among embroidery methods in that it was often worn by laborers. Other major embroidery styles are purely decorative and represented status symbols. Smocking was practical for garments to be both form fitting and flexible, hence its name derives from "smock" — a farmer's work shirt. Smocking was used most extensively in the eighteenth


title: Smocking content: and nineteenth centuries. Smocking requires lightweight fabric with a stable weave that gathers well. Cotton and silk are typical fiber choices, often in lawn or voile. Smocking is worked on a crewel embroidery needle in cotton or silk thread and normally requires three times the width of initial material as the finished item will have. Historically, smocking was also worked in piqué, crepe de Chine, and cashmere. According to "Good Housekeeping: The Illustrated Book of Needlecrafts", "Any type of fabric can be smocked if it is supple enough to be gathered." Fabric can be gathered into pleats in a variety


title: Smocking content: of ways. Early smocking, or gauging, was done by hand. Some embroiderers also made their own guides using cardboard and an embroidery marking pencil. By 1880, iron-on transfer dots were available and advertised in magazines such as Weldon's. The iron on transfers places evenly spaced dots onto the wrong side of the fabric, which were then pleated using a regular running stitch. Since the early 1950s, pleating machines have been available to home smockers. Using gears and specialty pleater needles, the fabric is forced through the gears and onto the threaded needles. Pleating machines are typically offered in 16-row, 24-row


title: Smocking content: and 32-row widths. Smocking refers to work done before a garment is assembled. It usually involves reducing the dimensions of a piece of fabric to one-third of its original width, although changes are sometimes lesser with thick fabrics. Individual smocking stitches also vary considerably in tightness, so embroiderers usually work a sampler for practice and reference when they begin to learn smocking. Traditional hand smocking begins with marking "smocking dots" in a grid pattern on the wrong side of the fabric and gathering it with temporary running stitches. These stitches are anchored on each end in a manner that facilitates

Smocking may be done in many sophisticated patterns. Standard hand smocking stitches are: A. Cable stitch: a tight stitch of double rows that joins alternating columns of gathers. B. Stem stitch: a tight stitch with minimum flexibility that joins two columns of gathers at a time in single overlapping rows with a downward slope. C. Outline stitch: similar to the stem stitch but with an upward slope. D. Cable flowerette: a set of gathers worked in three


title: Smocking content: rows of stitches across four columns of gathers. Often organized in diagonally arranged sets of flowerettes for loose smocking. E. Wave stitch: a medium density pattern that alternately employs tight horizontal stitches and loose diagonal stitches. F. Honeycomb stitch: a medium density variant on the cable stitch that double stitches each set of gathers and provides more spacing between them, with an intervening diagonal stitch concealed on the reverse side of the fabric. G. Surface honeycomb stitch: a tight variant on the honeycomb stitch and the wave stitch with the diagonal stitch visible, but spanning only one gather instead of


title: Smocking content: a gather and a space. H. Trellis stitch: a medium density pattern that uses stem stitches and outline stitches to form diamond-shaped patterns. I. Vandyke stitch: a tight variant on the surface honeycomb stitch that wraps diagonal stitches in the opposite direction. J. Bullion stitch: a complex knotted stitch that joins several gathers in a single stitch. Organized similarly to cable flowerettes. Smocking organizations and groups include the Smocking Arts Guild of America (SAGA), the Smocking Arts Guild of NSW, and the Embroiderers' Guild of America.

Native to the Indian Subcontinent (hence the name indica), and also to Southeast Asia, China, Korea and Japan "Lagerstroemia indica" is an often multi-stemmed, deciduous tree with a wide spreading, flat topped, rounded, or even spike shaped open habit. Planted in full sun or under canopy, the tree is a popular nesting shrub for songbirds and wrens. The bark is a prominent feature being smooth, pinkish-gray and mottled, shedding each year. Leaves also shed each winter, after spectacular color display,

Flowers, on different trees, are white, pink, mauve, purple or carmine with crimped petals, in panicles up to . "Lagerstroemia indica" is frost tolerant, prefers full sun and will grow to with a spread of . The plant is not picky about soil type but does require good drainage to thrive. Once established it is also quite drought hardy, though it benefits from the occasional deep watering during the summer months. 15 hybrid


title: "Lagerstroemia indica" content: cultivars have been developed between "L. indica" and "L. faueri" by the US National Arboretum for increased cold-hardiness and resistance to disease, all given the names of Native American tribes. There are also dwarf cultivars of "indica" x "faueri" cross-breeds and regular "L. indica" species, which grow between 2 and 5 feet (1.5 meters). In the United States, "Lagerstroemia indica" is a very popular flowering shrub/small tree in mild-winter states (USDA Zones 7-10). Low maintenance needs make it a common municipal planting in parks, along sidewalks, highway medians and in parking lots. Like the Southern Magnolia, the Crape Myrtle has

It is one of only a few trees/shrubs to offer brilliant color in late summer through autumn, at a time when many flowering plants have exhausted their blooms. "Lagerstroemia" is a common planting in South Atlantic States and is becoming an increasingly common shrub in Mid-Atlantic states all the way up through the coastal areas of Massachusetts. "Lagerstroemia" also thrives in the Mediterranean and Desert climates of Southern California, Arizona and Nevada. In arid climates, it requires


title: "Lagerstroemia indica" content: supplemental watering and some shade in the very hottest areas.The plant must have hot summers in order to flower successfully, otherwise it will show weak bloom and is more vulnerable to fungal diseases. In the United Kingdom, "Lagerstroemia indica" has gained the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit. Gardeners in cold-winter states have also had success with newer cross-breeds, especially those between "L. indica" and "L. faueri", which offer increased winter hardiness. Frequently "L. indica" is root hardy to Zone 5 (-10 °F/-23 °C), meaning it will be killed back during harsh winters but regrow from the roots and


title: "Lagerstroemia indica" content: flower in summer. As such Northern gardeners treat it more like a perennial than a tree or shrub. The U.S. National Arboretum has developed cold-hardy varieties that can withstand Zone 6 winters, though they may die back during bad cold snaps. Too much watering and over-fertilizing can decrease the cold hardiness of "L. indica" because it stimulates new growth late in the season that does not have time to harden off. In the South mildew and fungal diseases have traditionally been a problem for "L. indica". This was a major motivation for developing the "L. indica x L. faueri" hybrids,


title: "Lagerstroemia indica" content: which show increased resistance to powdery mildew and fungus. The fungal pathogen "Cercospora lythracearum" can infest the plant in summer during hot, rainy weather and cause premature leaf drop. Planting a resistant hybrid or spraying with a fungicide can help control this. Insect problems with "Lagestroemia indica" include the crape myrtle aphid, "Tinocallis kahawaluokalani", which can cause yellow spots and black mold, Japanese beetles, and the flea beetle. None of these insects are fatal to the plant and infestations usually resolve themselves through other predator insects; however applications of insecticidal soap can also be helpful. During the winter, gardeners will

This is colloquially known as "crape murder" because of the drastic pruning involved, leaving a bare trunk during the winter and early spring.

As caterpillars, they have a wide range of color phenotypes but show consistent adult coloration. With a wide geographic range throughout Central and North America, "H. lineata" is known to feed on many different host plants as caterpillars and pollinate a variety of flowers as adults. Larvae are powerful eaters and are known to form massive groupings capable of damaging

They are prevalent in most of the United States and are also found in Central America through Mexico, along with southern Canada. Populations have also been seen in Eurasia and Africa. They can also be found occasionally in the West Indies. The abundance of "Hyles lineata" populations in specific locations varies significantly from year to year, and has been thought to influence selection on flower phenotypes, although studies throughout the years show mixed results. See also List of butterflies and moths of Arizona. With such

They have also been seen in abundance in the mountains of Colorado, but their presence varies from year to year in many places. The adults will feed on different flowers depending on its behavior and on whether they're diurnal or nocturnal. It the adults are nocturnal, they will choose flowers that are white or pale colored, which are easier to identify in contrast to the dark foliage surrounding the flower. If they're diurnal, they will choose flowers that are more brightly


title: "Hyles lineata" content: colored. "H. lineata" are common pollinators and are known to collect nectar from flowers. As caterpillars they feed on a huge diversity of host pants and as adults they prefer nectar over flowers. A study from the 1970s focused on "H. lineata" nectar feeding patterns in Emerald Lake, Colorado, specifically on "A. caerulea" flowers. Of the "H. lineata" individuals that had visited "A. caerulea" flowers, two groups of moths were identified, one with patches of pollen near their eyes and ones with no detectible pollen on their bodies. Between the two groups, tongue length was significantly different, with longer-tongued individuals


title: "Hyles lineata" content: having no pollen and shorter-tongued individuals having pollen. These results suggest that within "H. lineata", some individuals are effective pollinators while some are not pollinating at all, with shorter-tongued individuals carrying out the most effective pollination. Other studies have investigated its role as pollinators in flower morphology. Individuals visiting "A. chrysantha" flowers in Pima County, AZ, had proboscis lengths very similar to the length of the nectar spur of the flower, suggesting coevolution. Hawk moths, including "H. lineata", are known as long-tongued nectar foragers, although nearly 20% of all hawk moth species have very short tongues compared to H. lineata.


title: "Hyles lineata" content: A 1997 study found correlations between tongue length and latitude distribution: mean tongue length declines from around 40 mm to as short as 15 mm as northern latitude increase from 0 to 50 degrees. The author speculates that tongues have lengthened in hawk moths of extratropical regions where it is more difficult and energetically costly to find larval food plants that are often inconspicuous, thus they need to take up more nectar at once to fuel their longer flights. Conversely, in more norther regions, short tongues are sufficient because finding larval food plants is an easier task and they do


title: "Hyles lineata" content: not need to take up as much nectar to fuel their flights. One 2009 study showed that whiter flowers are associated with an annual presence of hawk moths, including "H. lineata." Their data also showed that the annual presence of "H. lineata" populations selects for whiter flowers. Other hawk moth species with similar range overlap, specifically Sphinx vashti, show a correlation of annual presence with longer spurs on flowers. Thus hawk moths in general have been demonstrated to impact selection on flower morphology. Adult "H. lineata" do not show any parental care. Females lay eggs and do not stay to


title: "Hyles lineata" content: protect them. In the spring, adult females lay eggs on various types of plants, on which the resulting larvae eventually feeds. Each individual female can produce hundreds of eggs in a breeding season. Adults typically do not survive cold northern winters, but larvae overwinter and moths begin to appear in mid-May. Depending on abundance, a second flight may occur in late August or early September. Larvae are known to gather and form giant hordes in search of host plants, and they can eat entire plants, cover entire roadways and form huge slick masses as they go. The foraging patterns of


title: "Hyles lineata" content: "H. lineata" varies according to altitude, temperature and other factors, all of which are highly variable over its vast geographic distribution. "Hyles lineata" prefer flying at night but also sometimes fly during the day. They are most commonly seen at dusk and dawn. Larvae overwinter and can emerge between February and November, at which point they begin to feed on a variety of host plants. Caterpillars are known to be ardent eaters. When preparing to transition into the pupal stage, caterpillars dig shallow burrows in the ground where they then stay for 2 to 3 weeks, at which point they


title: "Hyles lineata" content: emerge as adults. As they get closer to pupating, they will wiggle up closer to the surface which makes it easier to emerge. Typically there are two generations per year, but warmer climate see more generations. Adults are mostly nocturnal. They are known to form massive populations which build up and force colonization of more northern regions. This could explain its wide northern range. As prevalent pollinators, hawk moths rely on both olfactory and visual perception to locate and recognize flowers. As stated above, "H. lineata" are commonly referred to as the hummingbird moth because their flight patterns resemble those


title: "Hyles lineata" content: of the hummingbird. This entails flapping its wings rapidly to allow it to hover over the flowers as it feeds on the nectar. Hawk moths, when feeding, tend to hover in front of flowers and control their hovering by visual cues from the flowers. Though hawk moths can be both diurnal or nocturnal (or both), they all have three spectral receptors that are sensitive to blue light, green light and ultraviolet. Though it was originally assumed that hawk moths relied primarily on olfactory cues to locate flowers, due to their prevalence at particularly odorous plants, studies have shown that hawk


title: "Hyles lineata" content: moths actually have great vision and are very sensitive to light. Though vision is a key component of "H. lineata" physiology, they do also have strong olfactory capabilities. They have been shown to be very sensitive to odors coming from flowers, and they have a strong ability to learn flower odors quickly. The caterpillars were at one point eaten by Native Americans. After collection, they would be skewered and roasted for a feast, and any leftovers were stored whole or ground up after being dried. Caterpillars often form massive groups in search for food. Outbreaks have been reported in Utah
