Autumn Cape Bag 2022 Part 17

 Autumn Cape Bag 2022 Part 17

Finally something a bit different. 

Tails Tangle

 

Before I can start on the next section I need to Sew in all the Tails from the Strap before they get into a Tangle

Start Embroidery

 

If you remember when picking up the Stitches I created Holes along the line. I need to rectify this. I am going to do this by Embroidering. In addition to covering the Holes I need to add to the Leaves. In Nature you do not get Square Leaves.

Add Oak Leaf

 

I have done some Embroidery with Orange and Yellow Wool. However it is not suitable for very large Patches. Therefore I have Knitted and Sewn in place a small Oak Leaf

This is something I had done before on the Autumn Cape. Although I have the Pattern I no longer have where I got it from. If you are desperate for it I should have it mentioned in my Autumn Cape blogs.

 Cluster of Leaves

 

I have now added several small Oak Leaves in a Cluster. I cannot go too far up the Strap as it has yet to have the Backing Sewn on it.

Now the piece is actually beginning to look like knitting.

Grey 8.5 Inches

Since I have slightly altered the pattern I thought it would be a good idea to have a record of what I was doing. This is roughly 8.5 Inches.

Starting the Tyres

After I have used one whole Ball of Grey Yarn I started on the Tyres with the Black Yarn.

Adding the White

Once the Tyres were finished I could start on the Van’s Bumper.

All of a Tangle

The problem with adding all these Balls of Yarn is they have a tendency to knit themselves into a Tangle.

Tangle Tidied

Before I carried on I thought I better have a tidy up. I untangled the Grey and White Yarn; cut off the Black Yarn and sewed in the ends.

Long Gap

The Bumper didn’t take long to do so I started adding the Red Yarn. There was a bit of a Long Gap between two parts I needed to do.

Threading Through

Rather than adding another Ball or leaving a long Loop I decided to Thread the Yarn through the back of the Stitches.

Wrong Colour

Darn it! I have made a mistake. I have accidentally used the same Grey for the Headlights as I have for the Background.
