Oooo you reminded me how much I loved creating french knots ... drat something else I want to do and won't! T Thanks anyway and please let's see what you're creating there, the colour is gorgeous ;)
Oh I like the look of that! It reminds me of the rugs my mum & I used to sit and make, lord knows whatever happened to them!...mmm, I'm a little intrigued, love the red...
Ah love it, would expect any less from a freak. xo PS word verification wookewo I think that is either a new bears name, or the sound a bear makes when he's both nervous and excited at the same time.
If that's a rug you're making it's going to be bewdiful! Enjoy the process as a type of meditation time (because if you don't consider it meditation you must be a VERY patient person). BTW where did you get the whatchamacallit thingy that you're knotting the yarn onto. I'm from Brisbane and couldn't find this stuff anywhere!
I really can't decide if you are : a) making a rug out of french knots ergo completely mad b) making a flyswat with fly rug ergo a genius whatever you are doing it is bound to be bloody fabulous.

Don't know what it is but I'm loving the colour palette!!
Oh hoorah! I love the mister for putting you up to this. Must see more!
No sympathy lol. You obviously know what you are up for ;)
Is that a blood sucking little annoying thing? LOVE the macro, as per usual :) Doesn't look "too far" at all Mrs... Have fun with the challenge. Kx
strength and good aim coming your way, from someone who's just been busy with the real swatter and real buzzy blowies
I am sooooooo intrigued... I want to know what the red is... i assume they are french knots... large ones... but why???

Oh please tell me that is a big red flyswat....
Loving it! Watching and waiting.....can't phathom what it is...it wouldn't be oozing blood/guts from a squashed blowie? Would that need green?
Oh my god.
We need a full intervention.
Ha Ha can't wait!
Definitely blood . Unless it's that thing that rolls a sticky ( red?) tongue out and traps flies ?
Er ... that'd be a frog .
Pretty funny the fly from the last post :)
Following your blog atm.
Too far? Is that not your middle name? Please don't French Knot til your fingers bleed - it'll make such a mess on the keyboard as you type.
No, what you are doing is setting an example for your young'uns - perseverance, and following your dreams/(insane impulses)/creative vision.

Ya crazy chick, ya!
You are!!! You're knotting a rug! I love it.
are we guessing... is it a blood stain? *g*
I think it's a rug with a giant red flyswatter - just putting my 2 cents in! Can't wait for the big reveal!
Oh, dear, what have you gotten yourself into? Actually, tho, I quite like the texture. Carry away, my friend!
I give you credit! If, by chance, it is a rug...it will look so snuggly and feel great on the toes!
You think you are making a rug...looks to me like you ARE making a rug. I can think about making a rug, but it wouldn't get any further than that.
You're so cool!

You're not are you? I thought you were joking when you said the words "rug" and "French knots".... Still, it'll be a damn fine rug though!
Ah love it, would expect any less from a freak.

Tell me it's not a rug. Tell me you've just used a macro lens...

perhaps your lifes work?
I'm with Sooz, we will prepare the intervention.
You !!!! Are the best kind of crazy .
What a lovely colour! At this rate, there won't be any knots left in France :)
I heard about this on Craft Camp. Your penchant for knots is the talk of the town. Good luck!
You make me smile :)
