I put the memorial penny piece for my mother on hold. Just wasn’t in a place to work on it.
I needed to full the piece, stitch the pennies into the triangles, and add coded dates to years that had special events.
The silver colored penny is from 1943 and steel.
This morning I fulled the knitted piece, now waiting for it to dry.
Also ordered a box to house the piece. I have been looking for a box and last week found this one.
The images are from the Etsy shop Superior Vintage Goods.
The patina and hardware wowed me.
I love the dovetail joints.
The interior looks really clean. Relieved I will not need to line the interior. I like the idea of the knitted piece resting next to the wood.
Wool, wood, and pennies are lovely together.
The box should arrive next week. Hope to get all of the stitchwork done before it arrives. My parents’ wedding anniversary is the 11th. It would be great to complete the piece for one of Mom’s special days.
