Jane Rainbow Kit<\/p><\/div>\n

This crewelwork cushion came from a Jane Rainbow kit, which my parents gave me for Christmas about fifteen years ago. It’s the last kit that anyone’s ever bought for me, because I finished it in short order – it was done by Twelfth Night – and the family felt that it hadn’t kept me out of mischief for long enough! I’ve looked on a couple of needlework shop websites, and it seems that this design is no longer available, which I think is a pity. It was fun to do, and I learnt a couple of variations I’d not come across before.<\/p>\n

Pomegranate<\/p><\/div>\n

The pomegranate shows a great variation in height and texture of stitches. I like the way the French knots<\/a> used in the centre are also used for textured patches on the leaves, although I think I would be inclined, were I to work this today, to use a darker colour in the centre of the pomegranate. The ribbed pattern around isn’t made up of exceptionally long bullion knots<\/a>, as you might expect, but instead is a sort of opened-out ribbed spiders web stitch<\/a>. The instructions here said to pack in the stitches as much as possible to get a nicely raised effect. It worked really well – it almost looks padded!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
