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.

| Knitting Journal - November 2019 |
I currently design doll knitting patterns, but I know there is more to knitting than just 'stocking stitch' & trying to make the perfect looking doll, which doesn't look as if it is hand knitted. I have designed dolls, weaving colours to make pretty patterns, when actually if I had looked at different textures through knitting, I could create something more pleasing.

| Colours Used: Blue, Green, Pink & Lilac |
My November 2019 project is based on a day trip in August to Waterperry Gardens, Oxfordshire, UK. My daughter & I had a wonderful morning, looking around the gardens. So many beautiful colours, but a very very warm day.
I sat under the arch for a very long time, as it was so warm that morning.
