Quiet and Done

 

It’s done.

Like Mike, the tallit is quiet but the longer you look at it the more you realize is going on.

 

The pinot, corner pieces are large and fairly bold.

Although it might have been slightly nuts to hand embroider the letters on the atara, I’m really glad that I did.

 

I love the texture. My son, who was kind enough to be my model in these photos, thought that the stitched looked like grains of wheat.

I bought tzizit dyed t’chelet, the murex blue, yesterday. I had a serious case of sticker shock.  The tzitzit cost more than my winter coat and less than the tuxedos I bought for my boys. The tzitzit are beautiful though. They will get more use than the tuxes.

 

Tomorrow, Mike comes by to tie the tzitzit .
