Stitching Projects - Knitting Journal - Oxford - January 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 inspired by Oxford. I was born in Oxford, and although I live 20 minutes away, I have lived here for all my life. I popped into the bookshop with my children one day, and as I came out, I quickly took a photograph of the ‘Sheldonian Theatre’.

I altered one of my photographs into a kaleidoscope image and decided to knit with the colours camel, brown, blue, and grey in my sampler.

I used ‘Basket Ribbed Stitch’ to make the square, which uses Knit, Purl & Slip Stitches.

As I enjoyed the colours so much, I wanted to design a tea cosy. I chose camel, brown, and blue and knitted them in ‘Texture Tweed Stitch’.
