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 day trip to the open-air Avoncroft Museum of Buildings, Worcestershire, England.
What a wonderful day we had, with our little dog & a picnic. The buildings are all original, rescued & re-built in the museum grounds.
I was really taken with the chimneys. The brickwork around the chimney was really unusual, so I wanted to create a piece of knitting with this in mind.
I wanted to show the diagonal texture & pattern of the chimney.
The colours I used in this sampler were: Candy Red and Grey.
