As I’ve been doing boot sales over the last few weeks it’s been the perfect opportunity to get on with the french knot piece I’ve been working since last August. The last time I updated it looked like this:
And now it has got as far as this:
It feels like I can see light!

That is a HUGE amount of punch needle and I love every inch of it!!
I’m pretty sure punch needle and French knots are entirely different.
So many knots… It makes my measly four letters seem like an afternoon’s work (which they weren’t!)
OMG! I freak out if I have to do more then 10 french knots. You dear lady are amazing and this project is just gorgeous on a massive scale. When it’s finished it will belong in the Louvre.
Applause applause!

Are these actual French knots or are you using a punch needle? If the former, I am gobsmacked. I love French knots and used a couple or three million on a piece I made.
Amazing! What is it for? It looks like a landscape from birds eyes view, woods and meadows and plains and… Wow!
