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