If at first you don't succeed, try again.
I decided to put aside my first Tussy-Mussy 12 inch square in acrylic yarn and try again with cotton yarn in different colors.
I was stuck on round 9 on my first square in red, pink and blue (read about here).
I guess I wasn't crazy about that color combination and decided to try another one in cotton yarns.
This was my inspiration!
I love the colors in this lovely crewel embroidered flowers in a vase made by my dear MIL.
The yellows, greens and oranges match the cotton yarn colors I have in my stash.
First four rounds done.
Starting round seven here in orange.
Finished round eight here with the four chain-three corners.
I'm working on round nine now.
I have no idea if I'm doing it correctly but I really like this square.
It's challenging for me and interesting too.
And I like this color combination.
Well, I better get back to work!
Love these colors, Sandy. I always admired crewel work, never tried it, though. xo
ReplyDeleteReally like the colours :)
ReplyDeletePurrrrrr-tee! Looks very intricate. (Translation- too hard for me!). =). I like the purple stitch markers...the purple color looks great with the shades in your motif.
