The Tree Ring rug -- 5 seconds


otterine

You know I usually keep track of my time when stitching...but I don't think I've ever captured the first stitch of a project.  One French knot down....

As you can see, this will be a completely freehand project.  I've made no pattern or markings on the fabric.

My inspiration is a lovely rug by YL Designs called the Woody Wood Rug.  While theirs is printed, mine will be done in French knots.  I like the idea of its being an organic process for an organic subject matter.  And, I can just stop stitching once I reach the diameter I want.

While this is intended for the secret build, there is the off chance I may not have enough time to finish it.  I'll give it my best shot, though.  :D

I cannot fathom how you will accomplish this. I checked the website you posted for your inspiration and it was mindboggling to me to think of stitching the thousands of little knots it will take to accomplish it. Way to go Brae!
