Warli in knitting

My first attempt to paint a warli drawing on a knit fabric. Still not able to avoid the curls at the edge of the base fabric.

    I had never heard of this technique. Its a beautiful piece you've created, and I even like the slight curling too!

    Thanks Sonia for your appreciative words. I picked by the wire that are used for flowers from Raja Stores.

    It looks very pretty :)

    To avoid the curling, you could add a garter stitch border around the knit fabric - stockinette always curls but adding 4 stitches each side in garter stitch can stop that.

    Oh great, you do so many innovative things with knitting. I can't knit. I have a pair of knitting needles though, a gift from my friend who didn't know the difference between knitting and crocheting. I should try learning to knit with it.

    Thank You for dropping by my blog dear. The wooden dinosaur skeleton is not from ice cream sticks but made by assembling a wooden puzzle set which is available in India[ the set is quite cheap at 35 rupees]

    Thanks Pinkundine for your suggestions. Noted the point. I follow this when I am doing a kerchief or dishcloth
