I am going to continue with the Embellishments

Flap Join

 

I had started adding Leaves across the Flap Join. This not only covers the Join but also Strengthens it.

More Gold

 

I searched through my pile of Coloured Leaves. I realised that I was short on Gold so had to make some more. I also made a few Orange Leaves.

Flap Leaves

 

I have now Covered the Flap Join with a variety of Coloured Leaves. I can now move on to something else.

Hole

It is difficult to see but there are quite a few Holes. This is where Stitches have Stretched. I placed a piece of paper underneath to spot them easier. In the photograph above, there is one in the Brown towards the bottom.

Hole Gone

I have tightened the Knitting by Sewing in some extra Red. The Hole is now Gone. Unfortunately, there are more I need to do and it is a thankless task.

This week I have Cottoned on to an Idea. Since I cannot find the Correct Colour Wool, I will try to match it up with Cotton Thread.

Secure Cotton

 

I attached the Leaf with the Wool Tail then I switched to Cotton. I decided because of the difference in Width between the Wool and the Cotton I would Double it before using to Secure.

Double Loop

I then proceeded to Sew the Leaf all the way around. I went over each part twice to Double the strength.

A few Leaves

After I had added the Pale Yellow Leaf, I added a few more of different colours.

Cast Off

I need to make some more Leaves so I decided to carry on Knitting for a few more Inches then Cast Off.

A Tail of Two Stitches.

More Tails

 

The problem with this kind of Colour Change is it leaves dozens of Tails. Not only is this laborious but also does not give me much to blog about either.

 Flap Join

 

I have decided before I go out of my mind with boredom to shake it up a little bit. I have therefore left the Tails for a bit and moved on to the Flap Join.

Wool Secure

 

I get out a Leaf that I had Knitted earlier and begin to use the Wool Tail to Secure it. However, I do not have enough to go around the edge so I need to get some more Wool.

Crivens!

 

How this has happened I have no idea. I cannot find Wool of the same colour. I have the Bright Yellow and the Golden Yellow but not the same colour of the Leaf. I can only think that somehow that the Wool has faded or that I went completely Colour Blind when buying the last lot of Wool.

Nice to be doing something different.

New Part

I am now moving on to one of the Side Pieces. What I am going to do is make a Flap

Adding Colours

I am continuing with the Colour Leaf Pattern. I simply add a few Colours at a time Knitting in Stocking Stitch.

Tail Mess

As I have done several inches, I am finding it hard to work out what is current and what are Tails. I need to sort out the Mess before I continue.

Tidy Time

I have now Sewn in all the Tails and now it is Tidy so I can continue on. I will have to do quite a bit more before I can move on to the next part.
