I haven’t given you an update on this in awhile. But it’s been good non-stress needlepoint, so I’ve been working on it and hope to finish it up this weekend.
As you can see, I have gotten the bridge done (the morning fog), the street and most of the sky (cable cars halfway to the stars), and now, the hearts (I left my heart).
The background for the heart is done in Crescent Colours Perles #5 in camoflage. To get those irregular stripes, I stitched in horizontal rows using Continental. The short row areas were done as I got to them.
Originally I had planned to do the hearts in Woven Plait but they didn’t look good. Basketweave de clearly called for here.
Now I just need to find a picture of the California Street line cable car to get those colors right.
