The cowl is finishedI finished the cowl, and sent it, and the recipient loves it. I made a mistake at the end when I was finishing the colors with a vinegar solution, and the green stripes have faded a bit. I was mad about it, but there is nothing I could do about it, and the cowl design still works: My cell phone camery doesn't pick up greens at all, it wasn't that bad... I hope...The cowl was made in Oslo stitch (F1 UO/UOO) with plant-dyed yarn in different shades of yellow and green, using nettle and maple leaf dyes. Every round took about 45 minutes, and I finished the cowl within 9 days - which means I was stitching every waking hour. Due to a sick kid, I had lots of waking hours :) But the cowl was so much fun to make, and such a challenge, I was addicted. Together with the cowl, I sent a matching set of pouches:  Taken with a better camera, but the square pouche isn't finished yet. I couldn't find a picture of the finished purse, don't know why, but there was a spiralled lid on it. (which had driven me crazy).The left pouch is amond all the thing I have mad in nalbinding, my favourite. I am very proud of the cowl, too. But in this round pouch the decrease in color corresponds with an increase in size, like the color has to spread over the greater space. I love it so much I have already duplicated it. The duplicate will go into another swap, but then, I will duplicate it again and keep it! I really need one of these before I run out of green yarn. It will be months before I can dye this color again. So, if I love this little thing so much, and also the big one, why am I giving them away? Because I got these for them in return (you better remove your keyboard in order not to drool on it :) ):  Green London hood, felt with linen lining  Brown London hood from felt One-stranded yarn - so soft and lovely! A hard drug for a yarn addict :) Scissors of dreams! Great book on Vikings Huge Hans Christian Andersen calendar!...and some extras for my kids. It was overwhelming to get this package! Thanks again, partner! { Kommentar hinterlassen } { Vorherige Seite } { Seite 6 of 125 } { Nächste Seite } |
