Purple Power
I
like to play with words and numbers as well as fiber. Once I picked purple, the phrase “purple
power” ran through my head. That led
naturally to “power of two” and thus was born my idea for this piece: restrict
the parameters beyond one color.
Will it
still look and feel like freeform?
I
came full circle with the following rules:
Purple power
Powers of two
Two stitches
Stitches in Rows
Rows of purple
I crocheted in rows only, and
the number of stitches in every row is a power of two. Only chain and back loop single crochet stitches
were used.
Did it feel like freeform as
I made it? Yes and no. Oddly, restrictions freed me in some ways: I
didn’t suffer as much from indecision. And
yet, at times I got a little annoyed at having to follow rules. Does it look like freeform? You tell me!
