I think I’ve said before that I’m trying not to do too many food images for the Motif Monday series. Now I know why I should stick to that intention… Working on this swatch and writing this post is making me hungry! I’m a huge sushi fan, and if you are too, then today’s Motif should be instantly recognizable for you.
Nigiri sushi pieces are iconic for their uniform shape and unmistakable seaweed “belts.” I used pink to represent salmon, but with a few changes in color, or maybe some afterthought embroidery, you could do the whole range of sushi choices! How about a few orange French knots to look like the tobiko roe, or a little shrimp tail for the ebi? The possibilities are endless… and delicious.
This was totally a bad idea. I’m craving sushi now! Maybe I should knit up some maki rolls… and a little tea set for green tea?
