I drew out little crickets
and seagulls for the baby sweater but my husband says that the crickets don’t
look like anything but blobs.
So I swatched them out and
embroidered them to try and help.
The seagulls are adorable
but the crickets do look a little blobish. I think maybe if I embroidered the
legs, eyes and antennae in a contrasting color (like grey) it might help. I used stranded yarn across the back for these swatches but in the final version, I think intarsia would be better. The spans that the yarn has to travel is just too large. It means I will need a lot of bobbins, I think. I am
leaning toward designing a cardigan that has either the seagulls or the
crickets on the bottom marching around the edge. Maybe it can be two versions
of the same design.
