Edith Grace Designs: February 2019

Stitching Projects - Knitting Journal - Chawton House - February 2019

This year, 2019, I have decided to explore texture & colours in my knitting. I want to record this through a journal & be inspired by my home in the English countryside or places I have visited.

My project is based on a holiday taken in August 2018. My family visited 'The Jane Austen Museum' and 'Chawton House', in Chawton, Alton, Hampshire, England. Whilst I visited the museum and house, my husband went for a walk with our little dog through Chawton woods.

Whilst in the house, which was owned by Edward Austen, we were told that it is thought Jane Austen sat by the window in my photo and wrote her novels there. With this in mind, I decided to make this view into a sampler.

The colours I used in my sampler were: Black, Forest Green, Sea Green, and Tortilla Brown

I wanted the black colour to represent the window panes, green for the lawn and trees, brown for 'Chawton Church' & the stone driveway.

Teapot Cosy Knitting Pattern

I have used the 'Basket Rib Stitch' for this pattern. The pattern is worked in DK wool, using double thread throughout. You can use chunky wool if desired.
Using double thread, combined with the texture of the stitch, makes the cosies thick & padded, which will keep the teapot warm.

I wanted to keep the design very simple, but focus more on the texture & contrasting colours. It was also an opportunity to learn a new stitch, which proves very versatile for this design.

This pattern includes a basic knitting instructions booklet for beginners.
