creatures of sampling

a bigger sample of the eyelet-fairisle technique. once you get the hang of putting half of the needles on hold and bringing the other half to work its not complicated, yet it entails a great deal of concentration.

as ever the technique was introduced and explained in detail by alessandrina, my knitting guru. her generosity fills volumes.

a sample with the yarns that will be used.

the black one is merino subject to  felting and the red wool wont felt at all.

a strange creature results.

 a bigger stranger creature. this is a full scale piece, not a sample.it comes with glitches which will hopefully be solved with the felting.

i am pleased in  that i have two projects that i have been working on and these could be future entries to exhibits.i do not like working for exhibits if what i'm working on fits a show, great. if not pass.
