Mokume Success(ish)

May 5, 2008

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 beĀ  pulling stitches out on the train for the next few days.

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.
