Champ de Tulipes, on size 3 needles, in warp twist cotton 10/2. painted with dye-na-flow

i had a lot of fun with this one! (ok, i have a lot of fun with all of them - i am really enjoying painting lace!)

I did the colors first, then came in and painted the black over them. i admit was hoping for a teeny bit more color showing through, but that's ok.

to make a top-down sock with a heel flap like this, you really only have to know how to knit, purl, slip stitches, pick up stitches, ssk, and k2tog. That's it. i dove into sock knitting pretty early on -- just after i'd figured out beanies. i'd never touched anything lace, and i've still never made a large garment like a sweater.

the fanciest thing in these particular socks is the folded cuff, which i only recently added to my repertoire. And honestly, even that is mostly just time consuming & tedious rather than difficult.

You gotta spin a lot

Anyway I’ve added red and green skeins to the pile

Here’s my tiny loom where I’m sampling everything as I finish it

I did NOT like the way the beige came out, it’s too pink, so I am using combs to blend white and a mauve-ish color to get what I hope will look like aged paper.

On the comb

After

More Swedish embroidery~

I think this is my favorite pattern so far! Btw if you need a form of embroidery that is basically invisible on the back side, this is it.

8in x 12in, Weaving on Hand Loom

Finally some new work to show!

I am going to embroider both front sides of this button up, but i know i wont be able to finish the second bit while goldenrod season is in full bloom, so i went out and got some snaps of just half the finished shirt.
