After a quick trip to a DIY store last night, I have the materials for making my little rope barrier which will go around my plinth. Because of a combination of time and money I bought 4 banister railings and a piece of chipboard and my lovely boyfriend is going to turn them into 4 fancy looking posts today and then I’ll paint them black. I’ve decided not to cover them in knitting because I want them to look slick and because then it wouldn’t make sense as to why I hadn’t knitted the plinth. I’m still going to knit the red rope though because that will just be quirky and should not distract attention away from the Playstation.
I found some amazing silver/mirror effect bias binding in the local craft shop which is going to be perfect for the detail I was talking about and I may use it for the lettering too – I’m going to test whether it will work today. I also looked for some dark red wool because the piece of finger knitting I already have is more like pillar box red. However, the craft shop only had “Ruby” wool which was too pink so I’m going to try and pop to the market later because they’re usually pretty good for wool.
