In between the sycamore seed harvests I been working on the "maroon monster" as I've now named the Wrap/Stole. (The real colour is darker than appears in the photograph).
This was it at half way and I've since progressed to 2/3rds completed. Only 200 rows to go!!!

Love the pattern in the Monster and the colour!!
Those sycamore seeds look like something from southern Ontario. Now you've got me wondering if there were sycamore trees there? I know for sure that they look like Maple 'airplanes' we used to call them. We'd stick the sticky part where the V's join on our nose - or throw them up in the air to make them look like helicopter blades.
Lovely maroon monster! It looks cosy.
Watch out for the sycamores. Don't want a load of forest trees growing on your lawn! They come up like weeds.

See if you can 'seek-any-more' of those seeds - they're relentless!
Now I wonder what colour it really is, on my laptop it shows up as quite pale. I really like the pattern, nice and textured.
The colour of the Monster is gorgeous! You know, if you decide you don't like it when it is done, you could always send it down to Dunedin ;-)
We've had windiness here too, but our big problem right now is grass starting to come up through our gravel driveway.
The previous occupant used RoundUp on it, but we want to go organic, so I'm currently researching ways to kill grass and keep it under control without Nasty Chemicals[TM] that make Monsanto rich :-(
Another rainy day. I wonder why it always rains in school holidays? *sigh* Oh well, only a few days to go!
The Maroon Monster is very pretty. Your sycamore seeds look similar to our maple seeds, with a propeller on them so they fly great distances!
Has Zebby gotten his cheeseburger quiche yet? Thor recommends it highly.
Love the monster, maroon is one of my favourite colours! You must post a pic of you modelling the finished creation. Spring has finally well and truly sprung, seeds and all, eh? Looks like you sure have your work cut out with those sycamores - good luck hon!
Great stuff Mick. The stole looks very pretty, great stitch and nice colour even if not quite accurate. And sycamores, oh my, there are an awful lot aren't there. They look great in the bowl though. Very autumnal. Lx
i hope autumn still gives you some nice days - we're having really windy spring weather here, which we like, because if it started to get too fine so early, we'd be sweltering until october!
