A-H (8/36) they all scan. Qrafter is the best free iPhone app I've found for scanning QR codes. I was thinking of making a mini gif-set tutorial for some of the more complicated woven stitches (such as the big squares on E and H), if anyone would be interested.

Day twenty.

Added some drizzle stitches.

The top poem is 'The Divine Image' from William Blake's Songs of Innocence. The lower poem is 'The Human Abstract' from Songs of Experience. Half way through finishing the lower piece I realised I should have done it upside down rather than just right aligned. So that at any one time only one of the poems would have been the correct way up to read. Live and learn.

I can’t remember if I’ve shared these before. These are two test pieces I did before starting the Iliad, experimenting with different colours assigned to different letters. I used Blake’s poem ‘The Tyger’ from ‘Songs of Experience’ because Blake. The black lines in between each line of text are designed to give a tiger-stripe feel. The length of each black line corresponds to the length of the lines in the poem ‘The Lamb’ which is often seen as the corresponding poem to The Tyger from the Songs of Innocence.

Edit: to me, on a personal level, these two pieces make a perfect pair. The one on the left is called ‘The Tyger’ the one on the right is called ‘The Tiger’. You see, I made a spelling mistake. Amusingly and perhaps ironically, this is the exact opposite of the mistake people usually make with my own name (they write Sylvie and I’m Silvie). Perhaps I should sign my name wrongly on ‘The Tiger’. :P
