Yarn embroidery

|



Wanted to try my hand at embroidering flowers on knits.... Based VERY loosely on the beautiful kalocsa embroidery I so admire. My circles aren't perfectly circular, my leaves are a bit uneven, but the heart turned out pretty good. :) I love the look of the folklore flowers on the plain grey mittens, imperfections and all. Now on to mitten #2... and then perhaps a photo session with oldest daughter for the final results?

Wow, it looks so nice and folkloristic. I would love to try this. Have a skirt with yarn embroidery, that I could wear today ;)

The imperfection of the embroidery makes the gloves nicer.
I really like it.
