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 around a day visit in May 2018 to 'Hughenden Manor', Buckinghamshire, England. My family and I explored the gardens, the house, and sat for a while looking over the valley, with the church in clear sight.
Hughenden Manor is owned by The National Trust. It is described as a red brick Victorian mansion, which was owned in the 1800s by the Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli, 1st Earl of Beaconsfield.
The colours I used in my sampler were: Green, Pink, Yellow, and Coral
I wanted to depict not just the red brick of the mansion and church, but also incorporate the flowers seen in the walled garden and over the valley.
