\"Not<\/a>

Not quite thought through...<\/p><\/div>\n

I’m really not at all sure what to do with this. It’s an abandoned experiment that I recently rediscovered, and which is nagging me more than somewhat! I really should finish it, or do something with it. It was originally intended to be a traycloth, and I’ve also run out of the thread I was using to hem the piece.\u00a0 So, since I can’t remember what that was I have some unpicking to look forward to, whatever I decide to do with it.<\/p>\n

I wanted to play with the idea of stitching the background, rather than the design. I also wanted to take advantage of the fact that Caron Collection colourways are dyed onto different threads (in this case, a fairly fine single-strand thread, and the heavy three-stranded type).<\/p>\n

As it stands, I’m not happy with it. Maybe I chose to make the pulled work too large (it goes over four stitches in each direction), maybe it is too dark. Maybe I just haven’t done enough stitching yet?<\/p>\n

I still think that doing most of the stitching in the background – a little like Assisi work<\/a> – would be an interesting variation. Back to the drawing-board!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
