RE: Embroidering a simple design
I love the finished embroidery but especially following its development which your pictures show brillantly!
The name we use here in Germany simply is "Klette" which could be translated as "clings to" - because that's what it does ;) The official German name is much longer: "Kleinfrüchtiges Kletten-Labkraut" and the scientists call it Galium spurium.
Fun fact: The word "Klette" is used in the German name for velcro = "Klettband" means "ribbon that clings".
Oh thank you for the wonderful facts and translation to German @muscara.
I haven't checked whether our (only) goose eats goosegrass or whether its feet are similar to the plant (as wikipedia suggests), but it's a really great natural velcro !
A little plan I had was to embroider the design on clothes 'as a bit of a joke'...
