I've been rather busy this week, so the runes were a good choice as they were simple to make. I picked the ones that spell my name. I hope I picked the right rune for A, because there were two different ones, and I didn't have time to study them further then. It seemed a bit complicated. I'm planning to make the whole futhark eventually.
Here's the whole collection together with my sketchbook:
I haven't yet decided what my next challenge will be, but I'm thinking about a "try-something-new-every-day"-challenge.
I have been fascinated by runes for years and did some embroidery using them. It must be a latent Norse/Welsh gene kicking in. I hope you are having a beautiful weekend. xo
ReplyDeleteJeannie, have you ever tried knitting runes? The knitter Elsebeth Lavold wrote a book with Viking knits that contains a knitted futhark. Have a look at it here: http://www.amazon.com/Viking-Patterns-Knitting-Inspiration-Projects/dp/157076137X
DeleteI have the book myself and have knitted the sweater on the upper left side on the back cover. I haven't yet tried any runes though.
