Floral Glove Needlecase - the embroidery finished (I think!)<\/p><\/div>\n

At least I think it must be. I think the next two months involve the finishing process – adding trims and making the needlecase itself.<\/p>\n

I’ve finally got the idea of how the purl should work. It needs to be cut fractionally longer than the distance it is to cover, so as to produce a very slight – a very <\/em>slight! – curve. This results in a slightly less scrappy look, because the ends of the “beads” of purl aren’t so obvious. It’s not easy to cut accurately – at least, I didn’t find it so, but where I got it right, the sections look much better.<\/p>\n

Adding the spangles makes a surprising difference to the final effect – they are so tiny and delicate you don’t expect them to make much difference, but the fragile sparkle really enhances the final effect.<\/p>\n

I’m not going to go back and redo the bits that aren’t quite perfect. It will be useful to have the reminder of what I should be aiming for beside the reminder of what I should try to avoid! I’m pleased with what I’ve produced and – although it may not be obvious from the photo – I can see that I have improved over the course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
