I have always loved the look of projects consisting entirely of French knots but they always seemed like they would take way more patience than I have. About 6 weeks ago I had the idea to make a French knot color wheel using a 3″ hoop. I figured that it wouldn’t be as much of an undertaking working with a tiny hoop. Let me tell you, it still took a long, long time.
I worked on it pretty diligently for a few weeks and then set it aside. The 30 for 30 crafting challenge inspired me to pick it back up and finish it. I started focusing all my efforts on it and finally stitched my last French knot.
I really love how it turned out, it’s exactly what I wanted. I have a pile of amazing embroideries I’ve gotten from various swaps that I intend to hang up by my desk, I think this little guy will join them all.
it turned out amazing. i am inspired to pull out an old french knot project now!
looks great, so bright and cheery!
This looks amazing! I’ve been following your progress on Instagram.
I think I am the only person who cannot do a French knot, I’ve tried but it never comes out right lol!
Wow, I am seriously impressed. Although I don’t have any plan to attempt anything like this, even though I don’t hate french knots, it just looks so time consuming! Well done for finishing it
looks great! must be really fun to squish in your hands too. congrats on finishing!
Impressive finish! It’s gorgeous.
Thanks! It was a very satisfying thing to finish!
A wonderful piece of work

This is super pretty!! Thanks for sharing!
This is just stunning! I’ve been seeing your progress on Instagram and it made me happy every time
I’d love to do an all French knot project sometime — I love them so much.
I think everyone should do at least one French knot project. It’s extremely satisfying!
Very interesting! Haven’t seen anything like it before! It always feels good to finish up a project!
Oh gosh. I am drooling over this. Gorgeous!!
That is beautiful! I love the look of solid French knots as well but I really don’t know if I’d have the patience!
I worked small so I was able to see some good progress which helped me stay motivated. I don’t think I could do a really big piece even though it would be really cool.
Wow! Now that’s a lot of French knots!! Love this!
Thanks! It ended up being a much bigger undertaking than expected but I love it!
I think this is my favorite project of your most recent stuff, I can’t even fathom the work involved in most of your projects, but that many french knots! I love rainbows, and the texture is amazing!
Ahh Becca, I love this!!!
It’s so wonderful and great to see it finished!
Thanks! I am pretty darn proud of it!
It looks wonderful … but you must be crazy!
Holy crapola! This is either brilliant or crazy!! It looks amazing. Kudos to you!! I’m in awe.
Thanks! I like to think I’m a little of both!
