Another weekend, another landscape. This time it was the San Jacinto mountains. Sturdy and rugged. Granite and Ponderosa Pines.
I tucked a few balls of yarn into my rucksack, and I made progress with six more leaves. The buttery yellow is an organic wool that I naturally dyed with juniper and creosote bush. Goes beautifully with the olive green that I showed you last week.
You can start to see how the leaves fit together, how they'll be sewn together to form a blanket. It's curved in the picture, though, because they're on a tree trunk here!! The leaves, unblocked, curl up on themselves. It was only by sticking them to the rough bark of a pine that I could get them laid out like this to show you.

Very Cool! Your own personal version of 'urban knitting' - in the wild!
ReplyDeleteThe leaves are cute and I like those colors together. My hubby was up there on Sunday riding his mountain bike. He said the weather was great! :-)
