Imperfection

One of the things that I have always loved about hand-worked repeat patterns, is the way in which the natural irregularities - the imperfections - make a repeat pattern not a repeat pattern anymore. 

Even though it still is. And I think that's the quality that appeals so much to me in so many world cloth/stitch traditions.

Finding diamonds

I did just a few more rows.

 I will keep going with this. But am not going to show it again until it's done.

Which could be sometime!

Just to say that - so far - it doesn't look as though the pattern will be lost because of the stitches.

The first sunbeams this morning casting shadows on the kitchen wall.

I love the pattern, the tones, and the simplicity.

I've been finding diamonds today.

I loved Susan's post. 

And I was reminded of an earlier experiment.

Ideas!
