Speaking of Pink
I mentioned on Fiber Traditions that I had a needlepoint WIP and Madame asked to see it, so here it is. It's called "Peony" and it's by Kaffe Fassett, purchased from Ehrman Tapestries.
Here's a close up. Is it pink or is it pink? No fancy stitching here, just coloring with yarn instead of crayons!

There's something about finishing an area of one color that is very satisfying, and if you get bored with one color you can switch to a different one (quite unlike knitting!). Will this be a pillow when you are finished?

Posted by: Marcia on July 29, 2003 07:44 PMWell, to my eye, it actually looks rather, um, pink!
Beautiful work, Linette!
