I completed my new Sulawesi belt in 32 motif cards (16 pairs), where I combine motifs from my “Creatures in Squares” series with motifs based on plants (grapewines, fruits, flowers on branches, etc). The red and the green are wool (regular knitting yarn, 100% wool) and the yellow is a mix of wool and silk.
I really enjoyed putting together my different designs in a new way. I find that I often make photocopies of my designs, where I cut and glue pieces together from different designs or I simply combine the elements with magnets on a cardboard board.
Taking one photo of the whole belt does not show it off very well, so I will show it in parts and if you are interested in some of the turning patterns, please let me know and I will add it to the Design page.
I tried out some new variants of dogs (in squares). Either single dogs, or 2 dogs (or cats?) together (mother and puppy?). I uploaded 3 of the dogs-patterns on the design page.
I also made some new “wines” and “branches with fruits” motifs to go between the “squares”. The green/red/yellow in this band make them look like strawberries.
Here the squirrel and the rabbit are joined by a simpler wine with a leaf.
The full band is below but the light is rather bad. it meassures a bit more than 2 meters.
The turning pattern for one of the wines and the octopus.
