I love color wheels. And I love embroidery more than I love cross stitch (shhhh...don't tell anyone). I made this this week.
The hardest part was deciding what pattern to use. It's faster, and more satisfying than cross stitch. It reminds me of crochet, as it's just enough brain power to feel accomplished and creative. But still really relaxing It feels natural, no real counting. Check out my Blackwork Board on Pinterest for a bunch of patterns. Specs: 14 pt cloth I found at a thrift for 90 cents. SCORE. Red - 817 Red Orange - 607 Orange - 740 Yellow Orange - 396 Yellow - 444 Yellow Green - 166 Green - 826 Blue Green - 3848 Blue - 3842 Blue Violet - AKA my new most favorite color EVA! - 792 Violet - 208 Red Violet - 3803 Try it out. You will enjoy it. Also, check out one of my favorite blogs, &Stitches, for some more info on the technique and a stitch along :)
Thank you! I have a pattern on paper. I have not found a good way to make a large blackwork pattern in photoshop or similar software. When I do this is one that I have on my list to create :)
This is such a beautiful project. Have you considered creating a pattern for this project?
