Hi,
I don’t think I have ever shown this picture
Yesterday I looked at this picture and thought it looked a bit dusty, so I carefully washed it, hang it out to dry. Then I thought I have never shown this tatted and knitted picture, so here it is, the foxglove is knitted on no 14 needles, all the surrounding foliage is tatted, the butterfly is also tatted. I used embroidery silk to make it all, three stands on the foxglove with small black beads in the each flower, three stands for the tatted foliage and flowers and two stands on the butterfly. All sewn on to net and blanket stitch to secure it to the frame, Trouble is I don’t know when I made it, I think it’s 30 to 35 years old. When I washed it yesterday I really thought it would break up but no it’s fine.
