It's not a NEED, of course. But it is kind of a WANT. So much beautiful work should not be discarded casually. Not only is it beautifully crocheted, but the squares are joined with perfection.
Or, rather, they were joined with perfection. I have taken them apart and now have a substantial stack. I will launder them, and plan on dyeing them, adding threads, etc. in the near future. It will have to get warmer outside before I plunge into dyeing. I'm thinking madder. Maybe bois d'arc. Some of the squares are sun-damaged; I expect these will take dye differently, maybe with variations in hue.
Maybe on a black ground--I have this neat stuff, "garden cloth", given me by a friend. It's used to diminish weeds in a garden; seeds can sprout right through the little holes. It could be a good background for some adventuring.
Kakishibu might work. I'll think about that; it requires bright sunlight to take properly. Right now it's really cold around here.
