Tapestry crochet

 

Left in Knots site here

I I have been trying Tapestry crochet. It's a bit complicated but pretty cool after you get the hang of it.

I haven't tried multiple colors just two but eventually I want to make a whole blanket.

What's Tapestry crochet well its:

"Tapestry crochet is a crochet technique that uses multiple colors of yarn to create patterns, letters, pictures, or geometric designs." "Tapestry crochet is sometimes called jacquard crochet, intarsia, mosaic, fair isle, and colorwork, but today these terms usually describe different techniques. Since the yarns are switched back and forth to create motifs,[1] tapestry crochet fabric looks more like it was woven on a loom than crocheted with a hook. " Definition from Wikipedia 

When I have more done , I will show it. At the moment I have a skull(which I had to redo 4 times) and plan on doing a black and white blanket. They are squares that I will have to sew together.

Let you know when I work more on this.

I thought of buying one of these to do some quilting. I made quilts but I never free motion quilted. I would like to do that since it makes a quilt look so pretty. I don't know what designs to do so I thought this would be better.
