Am I Mad ....or.... Am I Knot Mad?

  AM I MAD ... OR ... AM I KNOT MAD? 

.............................................................

("Yes, you ARE mad", I hear you all shout in unison)

I distinctly remember saying ,only last week, that I did not want to put a lot of time or effort into this UFO Celtic Knot quilt. Mainly because I was not enamoured with my original stitching on the central knot (all those years ago).

Last week I showed the finished central knot, along with a design for additional knots in the four corners.

Just look what I did with the stitching on one of those corner designs, and you will see why I think I have gone mad.

Knots within knots.... braided knots to create the knot motif.

And then outlined with chain stitch.

The completed corner Knot.

I am Knot impressed.

Thimble in pic to give an idea of the size of the motif.

It took me three days just to do this one knot. 

I DO KNOT want to invest time on this quilt (so why the heck did I do that?)

Now I have to do a similar thing for the other three corner knots.

Even 'I' think I am mad.

I have a scary feeling that this quilt is going back in the UFO pile.

On another note......

Now I have learnt to knit, and understand 'Knit-speak', I have taught myself to knit cables.

This is my very first cable test piece. Even hubby was impressed with that, lol.

    Happy Thanksgiving to all my wonderful friends who celebrate it    

    I am thankful to have you all in my life   

Happy Stitching
