Notes

Made the warp a couple weeks ago.

Warp is Lunatic Fringe Mercerized 10/2 Kelp

#1:
Tabby weft Lunatic Fringe Purple
Pattern weft Lunatic Fringe Verbena, doubled

Working on getting just the right beat.

I’ll have the hemstitching down by the end of this for sure.

#2, Forest green tabby weft, yellow pattern weft
#3, Burnt Umber tabby weft, light blue pattern weft.

I’m a pro at hemstitching now.

#s 10 and 11 complete. The warp is showing no signs of finishing. For #11, I wanted to do a lt blue-blue-transition-green-lt green fade, with a purple tabby weft. Didn’t have the right transition color; couldn’t blend from my existing stash of 10/2 mercerized. I did have a blue 10/2 that was a match, but no green. But WAIT! I used to embroider! I have floss! (Somewhere). Second place I looked, and the color I wanted. So the middle is the transition blue-green.
