Keep in mind that I HATE tedious handwork.
I usually throw down cross stitch in disgust, toss knitting across the room and commit similar semi violent actions again innocent crafting projects.
Which is why I’m surprise I actually stuck with this one, to the distress of my shoulder, neck and eyes (from stitching white on white and then picking out the dyed stitches.)
Here it is- my first foray in to both Mokume AND using lanaset dyes. Not too shabby for a first shot.
Photos of completely unpicked scarf to come. I suspect I’ll be pulling stitches out on the train for the next few days.
i’d take off the “ish” part. great first effort. i haven’t done much mokume but will be doing the mokume challenge as part of the shibori flickr pool. why not join in?
Well done, I say it’s just beautiful for a 1st try!
Welcome to the world of tiny stitches, I’m glad I never have to take mine back out.
