May 13/17. Finished Part 2 #7/17. Beginner Kiku Temari
Special thanks to Barb Suess for guiding out Temari group through all steps to make this simply beautiful Temari. I have and am learning lots with this new craft hobby I really enjoy. Here's to following Maris and fun moving forward.
One more thing I still want to do before finalizing. That is finding my hot melt wand and 2 beautiful crystals. One will be added to both North and South Poles. Just moved and still in process of changing things around. Now I ask myself, "where did you put these gems this time!?"
Here is the colour sequence. All threads used were crochet cotton.
2 rows each for Petals 1 and 2
white, cream, med yellow, gold metallic wound, bronze metallic "opera" type crochet cotton, followed by dark chocolate brown, and completed with an amazing type of cotton. Black fibers wound with rainbow metallic thread scattered with the tiniest sequins I have ever seen.
Petal section 3 has been
zigzag patterned stitches completely circling the previous rounds of stitches. This time I started with 1 round of that lovely black fiber thread, followed by 2 rounds each of reverse colour order as above. Completed with 1single row of threads as a final round.
To add a little touch outside the lesson instructions, I wrapped 2 rows of the black thread around the equator on either side of the original guidelines. This is known as an "Obi". What a wonderful way to show off the quality of this thread.
HOWEVER, I will not use this thread again as those little sequins catch in the thread wrap in the basic shape and it is really difficult to pull through without shredding the original thread wrap or the actual fibers in the wrap itself.
How much fun this was to complete. Now on to the next!
