Knitting Project: What is It?
It was great fun to knit together all my fabric strips.
The resulting item is colorful and full of texture.

But at approximately 6″ x 60″ what is it? (Before blocking, below.)
My original thought was that I was making a scarf.
And, I think it looks really good – and quirky. But wait, what are those hairy threads doing all over my black coat? That’ll never work.
Maybe I could turn it into some sort of 3D artwork.
Hmm. Looks rather challenging.
So, maybe I should just treat it like a long skinny swath of fabric. If I stabilized it with stitching and/or interfacing, I could cut it into pieces, right? I think the texture would be great as an inset in the front of a decorative pillow. Something like this.
What do you think? Any other ideas?

Lovely texture and colour shading in the knitting. Cutting it up sounds good to me.
I kind of favor the 3-D Artwork idea. It can stand on it’s own – it doesn’t need to be a part of anything else. I love recycling fabric into something new and different.
Thanks for the ideas, ladies. I’m having fun considering my options.
You might like to try it as a scarf on a denim jacket. Bet it would look great!
Great idea, Doreen. I’m sure the threads wouldn’t stick or show as much.
