I created this scrumble in 2 separate sections then, using just a few stitches, I sewed them together in the centre. Each of the pieces began with a small slip stitch knitted square, worked in hot pink wool and a variegated mauve mohair.Before they were joined I added some crochet block stitches and popcorns to each piece, and a little more knitting using an unusual ribbon yarn. A couple of gaps in the work were crocheted around a few times to produce the deep 'holes', and these were then finished off with a round of crab stitch.
Once the 2 pieces were joined, I worked some random crochet mesh into the upper and lower v-shaped dips to fill them, and then edged a couple of sections for continuity, using a thick mohair boucle yarn. Finally a little more crochet was added on the surface and at the edges, using a thin yarn that was both matt and glittery.

ReplyDeleteI just found your blog. It looks like you were working on this like crazy and then stopped. Hope you come back to scrumble again soon.
ReplyDeleteYes, I will definitely be back, scrumbling and blogging again early next year. Things just got too hectic over our winter months here with all the shows etc that I was involved in...but keep watching again in 2010 for lots more scrumbles
