Posting has slowed down of late…perhaps I'm going into hibernation mode? It's not that I'm being idle– I'm furiously trying to finish a Winter jumper before the cold weather sets in good and proper, and I have a few Christmas gifts on the go. However, since I don't want to spoil any surprises by posting pics of Christmas presents, and I really don't think anyone would be interested in seeing this week's output of grey brioche rib (a bit too much like the blogging/knitting equivalent of watching paint dry), a few felted pebbles will have to suffice.
Although yellow is probably my least favourite colour (a tad overwhelming and bossy) I can't help but think of sunshine when I look at this pebble. Perhaps then, I should work with yellow more often as anything that has such a cheerful effect shouldn't be so readily dismissed.
In total, there are probably around 80 bullion (that's bullion, not billion) stitches on these pebbles. Somewhere around the 50th, I completely forgot how to do bullion stitch–my mind simply went blank–does that ever happen to you?

So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYes, my mind frequently goes blank after having repeated the same thing for a long time!! I, too, wonder why?
ReplyDeleteYellow is a sunny and uplifting colour, but can be a nightmare to photograph. Your camera has done a good job, as have you.
Keep up the knitting and present making!
