A few months ago, I wrote a post here on &Stitches featuring extra-special uses of french knots. If Flickr user Littlelixie's french knot-filled clock face had existed at the time, it most certainly would've been included. It's still a work in progress, but you can already see how wonderfully textural it's going to be. She's using variegated threads on a grey linen, which is really making the colors pop beautifully!

First, I love making french knots ~ second, I love this clock ~ it's so colorful and clever!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. I hate making French knots, but they really do look so little.
ReplyDeleteI made a garden of flowers with French knots and it took forever. The clock is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you for featuring me! I am really flattered. They are quite time consuming but it can become a meditative thing, plus with variegated thread you want to see it changing to the next colour! I adore the effect.
ReplyDeleteI love French Knots all crowded together!
