This is my first experience with an Ink Circles design, and so far I am loving it! There is something very nice about using all one color and not having to fuss with multiple changes, and the chart is a dream to read. When completed, this will be relatively small...about 8X8 total, so that means that I will have to find a HUGE one to do next so I can really go crazy.
Spent some time on the Heaven and Eart Designs site today. Hmmmmm. Wonder if I will fall down THAT particular rabbit hole?
OK...enough procrastinating. That guest room is not going to clean itself no matter how hard I may wish it to be so.
Onward!
One day I may try an Ink Circle...they are always so interesting.
ReplyDeleteI love your color choices Coni.
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about stitching one of the "Cirque de..." charts by Ink Circles. I've seen so many of them done in beautiful colorways. Very tempting!
You're off to a great start! Love the colors you chose!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful start! You're right, Coni, there is something very enjoyable about just stitching along and not worrying about changes colors.
ReplyDeleteI just recently fell down both the Ink Circle and Heaven and Earth Designs "rabbit" holes and I'm loving it. Enjoy your project!
ReplyDeleteYou are off to a great start on your Ink Circles piece, Coni. Your fiber and fabric combination is awesome. I am a big fan of monochromatic stitching; it is very enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteI want to try ink circles too! I absolutely love my HAED. Go for it.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I enjoy one color quaker designs for the same reason.
ReplyDeleteI will enjoy seeing your Ink Circles design develop.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Isn't great to stitch with just one floss color. Wouldn't it be nice to have a self cleaning house. I know your dilemma, I had to clean both bathrooms and mop floors. 😜
ReplyDeleteI love all of the Ink Circles designs - enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteI usually lurk, but I had to comment on this one. I am an Ink Circles junkie, and it's killing me that none of my usual shops have her new designs in yet!
ReplyDeleteYou might want to check the IC website. Tracey has a "roll your own" series of Celtic knots for this year. There's a database with color combo suggestions or you can strike out on your own. Utterly addictive, lots of fun.
Gorgeous start!! And I would love to see you stitch a Heaven and Earth Design!! Go for it!!
ReplyDeleteOoooo. Nice. :D Hugs & Prayers, Cathryn
ReplyDeleteLove the strong contrast between fabric and thread.
ReplyDeleteYou're off to a great start!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful stitch - love the color of the thread! Happy stitching...............
