<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As we grow up, we lose some of that ease of just doing it to do it. It always has to mean something or "be" something, and that pressure can kinda take the fun out of what we are doing.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">To make the fabric, I held two strands of yarn together.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I chose a <a href="http://www.hobbylobby.com/Yarn-Needle-Art/Yarn/09-Farmers-Market-Yarn-Bee-Glowing-Yarn/p/80658286" target="_blank">worsted weight acrylic variegated yarn</a> f</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">or the 1st strand that would be consistent through the whole piece.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The second strand of yarn changed throughout the whole piece as I used different wool and blended fiber yarns from my stash. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I decided to make it in a series of panels so I could control how long and wide it would be without worrying about the weight & exact size of the piece as I worked on it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Each panel is unique and has its own subtle color changes.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">If I made this in one huge piece, the color changes would not have been as interesting because the flow would have been uniform from left to right instead of top to bottom.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When I finished all of the panels I lay them all out and turned them this way and that to find the color flow I liked across the piece.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It was an <b><span style="color: #e69138;"><i>exciting</i> </span></b>process to see it come together from 5 individual pieces into one cohesive large tapestry.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; text-align: left;">Once they were placed in the order I liked, I turned them over wrong side up and sewed them together with my yarn needle & more long scraps of yarn from my stash.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Happily, another neat effect that happened by making them in panels is that the seams of each joined panel created a divided texture and drape that added a lot of character to the whole piece and prevented it from looking like a blanket hanging on the wall.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The next step was to crochet a border of burgundy around the whole piece. I used a bulky weight yarn and I single crocheted 2 or 3 rows to get the size border I liked.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Then I cut lots of bulky and worsted weight fibers from my stash in the same color pallet to create the fringe.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">An easy way to get them to be all the same size is to choose a book or piece of cardboard that is the length of the fringe you want to create.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Wind the fiber around the book over and over and cut across the fibers at the top of the backing you choose.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">You will have a pile of fibers that are double the length of your fringe.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Grab as many fibers you want in each tassel and fold them half.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Place your crochet hook where want to place the tassel, put the group of yarn on the hook, bring the ends through the loop and adjust the tension you like for your knot. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Repeat this process all the way across. Because of the thickness of the fringe I wanted to create, I made each yarn bundle bulky and placed them in every other chain at the bottom of the border. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When it was all done I added individual colors of worsted weight fibers randomly along the fringe line too to have color pops along the way.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Wall Hanging is about 48 x 60 and weighs about 10 lbs.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The weight and size of the wall hanging could have made the installation challenging.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I did not want it to sag or stretch when I mounted it so my solution was to create an illusion of it hanging from delicate rings while actually providing structure along the top.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The wall hanging is hung on its own like a picture. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I crocheted a sleeve across the top back portion and slid a long piece of wood in it to hang it from. Then I used two sawtooth hangers in the wood to hang the wall hanging on the wall.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The rings at the top are <a href="http://www.hobbylobby.com/Home-Decor-Frames/Decorative-Accessories/Curtains-Drapery/Drapery-Rings/p/UP80802" target="_blank">wood drapery rings</a> that are floating above the actual piece. They are just turned flat instead of used as rings on a rod to hang a curtain. I actually took the hanging clips off the rings and just hung each one right up to the top edge of the piece.</span></div>
