2015 March 15 Beginning Kiku Herringbone Temari Parts 1 and 2
Beautiful Temari, challenge to me during the spring coldness. I have really begun to enjoy this beautiful art form. I hope to grow from here.
2017 April 30, and now I write about the fun I had with this project.
#1 is approx 23 cm and was wrapped around a medium sized styrofoam ball, then covered round and round with more knitting worsted thread. Bringing me to the place of decorating in a beautiful Mint Green and Baby pink for my two C8 colour choices. I finished this smaller Mari in the allotted time to start on #2 with the group.........
Now I can finish the story of Temari #2 using a C16 bright red crochet cotton was used to complete the guideline pattern. I wrapped this styrofoam ball (large size) starting finishing at 33cm. My material choice with this mari was to wrap round and round, layer upon layer using a fancy knitting type of wool. It has little squares of colour as part of the wool type. The squares were olive green, maulve, pale pink.
To this I chose several thread rounds starting the 2layera of white with rainbow metallic thread wrapped around the white crochet cotton causing a soft rainbow effect.
Next came 2 layers of cream
Next 2 layers of pale, pale yellow
Next 2 layers of mint green
Finally a really dark 2 layers in green
New trick on this Mari was to use the final outline of each two petal patterns as completed the coded colours with red to bring back full circle the guideline colour
Because my equator guideline was not completely equal between the North and South sides, I decided to leave the equator without further wrapping.
No wait!....I forget......go ahead now to April 30 2017 and look at the Temari ball again.....what is this, the SOUTH POLE has not been completed.....you can't tell from that photo below,,,,,,but it is time to get this finished and call it a day.
I will repeat the same layers of colour choices for the two rounds of petals.......
Actually as of April 29, I am almost finished except for a couple petals needing the red final layer and then sewing in the ends.
Yes, I am definately in love with making Temari.
