One Request

It all started with one request.

That's how it happens, one request.

Someone asked where they could find the wool 

for Cee's Marriage/Memory Rug 

 

I decided to give it a go.

I have written the pattern for Cee, and others.

I have made my own version with Cee's wool.

Remember the oval tongue rug here

Well it was time to get the dye pots out, 

start tearing through piles of wool 

and get to it.

One request turned into batches

 and batches

 and batches

(did I say batches?)

of wool 

and string 

and cotton thread 

and

 and 

and

It went on 

and on.

 Wool and more wool, 

dyeing and redyeing

 

 string and more string

 

 

 

And then the sun came out and I was ready to cut!

And cut I did. 

So much cutting. 

 

 One request turned into 10 beautiful kits,

with more in my 

future

 because there is a laundry basket 

full of leftovers 

waiting

for the process to start again. 

 One day 

 the lonely leftover wool will have

some string 

and other wool 

to join it,

making a complete kit,

one day.

Thank you to the Ladies and Gents of the Wool Circle Club

 who trust in me and support me.

Check my Etsy shop if you want 

to nab one of the remaining kits.
Or purchase the pattern only.

Happy Stitching whatever your project is.
