My 2nd weekly scrumble. This one started with a length of french knitting (I-cord), randomly twisted around and then stitched and embellished with a contrast yarn where it touched or overlapped. Small areas of freeform crochet were added around the edge, using short scraps of many different red yarns. The crochet bullions were made with an unusual, velvety artificial suede cord - sometimes difficult to work since it stuck to my fingers and had absolutely no stretch whatsoever, but it worked nicely for bullions when I persevered since it was a round single strand.size approximately 28cm (11") x 14cm (5.5 ")

Hi Christine...I noticed your bags on Etsy. Great to know that you are still freeforming :-)
ReplyDeleteKosetta, nice to 'meet' you here. I guessed there were many freeform fans in your country, since I get so many hits on my website from Russia. I really like that photo on your blog of the freeform lace in between the trees.
Please, Do you think these little works of art out or are they more 'organic'? I have your book from the library but may well have to buy my own copy. So far, I am sitting with my basket of colour-sorted yarns and a Readers Digest book on needle craft, trying different stitches and having so much fun I was still here at 12.30 am .
ReplyDeleteI really don't plan them out, apart from choosing the colours that I will start with. Sometimes I just stick with what I have chosen, sometimes I add in more yarns in similar colours but in different weights or textures...but if I get the feeling that something else quite different needs to be added too, then I always go with my instincts and let each piece develop itself in the way that it seems to want to go...so yes, it is normally a rather organic process.
