twine bunting

 

A tiny seed of an idea nourished to life with fresh air and cups of tea.
An organic unfolding of plans, of possibilities.
Gnarled texture to hand, knitting needles and sweet time alone.
Deviations from the original path.
Discoveries of a new trail holding far more interest and scope for the imagination. 
A muted palette.
Scrap yarn too soft and delicious to be wasted; too small for any other project.
A serendipitous pairing of idea and materials.
Frivolous and fanciful. Natural and grounding.
Autumnal.

Here is the hodge podge kind of pattern I made up as I went along:
Using 6 mm needles I cast on 25 stitches using twine.
Knit one row.
Knit two stitches together, knit rest of row, knit the last two stitches together (to decrease on both sides)
Knit one row.
Knit two stitches together, knit rest of row, knit the last two stitches together.
Continue until you have one stitch left.
Snip twine and thread through last stitch pulling tight to secure.
The scraps were worsted or aran weights.
A large length of twine was threaded onto a tapestry needle and woven in and out of each triangle in rather a haphazard fashion leaving a space between each one. I chose to leave all the ends hanging.
