There will be more of these! |
Everything that you need. |
I had to use mustard yellow on it somewhere! |
I had never used one before but they are everywhere and having a real moment. Well, I can see why too. They are easy to use, you can use really cheap yarn for a good effect and it is just fun and satisfying - and strangely cathartic to repeatedly stab something. maybe I need to have some help with that last bit!
I have this thing for round things - I inherited that trait from my grandfather. |
I actually like the black braid. It frames it nicely and hides my dodgy edges. |
I have actually been searching for ages (basically since) for a way to translate this fun-at-the-time activity into something more grown up.
I did end up with a lot of ends on the back and I don't think that this is right. Technique tweak needed! |
Smoothly repetitive work |
Then I started colouring in...
Easy to do and filled in really quite quickly |
Loved the texture on the front. Even with really cheap yarn, it looked nice. |
On reflection, I would not use a fabric with a pattern - or i might turn it over so that the 'right side' isn't so dark. But it wasn't meant to work.... |
I can see the people now! |
I am sure that the ends are not supposed to be there! |
It is not usual to put the braid border on but it finished it off quite nicely. |
Perfectly boho |
