Monet Rovings

There is nothing like the subtle colors of Monet. I felt better yesterday, and worked on some rovings inspired by my favorite paintings of his. I dyed these rovings in a 2 step process, first applying a base color, and then using Shibori techniques, overdyed them, thus leaving some of the original colors visible.  I love the results. They are subtle, and share the watery quality of Monet's paintings.


I jus added them to my Etsy Store and hope you will enjoy them!

Hi emerso-j,

For the pillow, I made up my own pattern. Chain 5. Join. hdc 10 in loop. Next round, 2 hdc in each hdc. Then keep spacing the increases further and further apart.

Fun!
