Stitching Project - Blackwork Journal - June 2019

I wanted to learn a couple of new skills this year, 2019. I decided on improving my knitting skills, exploring texture & colour, I also wanted to learn 'Blackwork', something I have wanted to do for many years.

Blackwork Project - June 2019

Progressive Pattern

The pattern shows the density of the stitch & colour

I was given a large box full of silk threads. I am unsure of the age, some people think c1940's, others think possibly earlier. I couldn't decide what to do with them, should I keep them preserved as they are, or use them as they were intended? I think they should be used, with the cardboard roll included in the project book. This will show the history of the thread.

This month, I wanted to work on progressive patterns, building the density of the stitch & thread.

This pattern was taken from a sampler by Mary Kay Sampson.

Rayon Twist - Shade 2046

I used 'Deputy - Rayon Twist - Shade 2046'.

The vintage threads are wound up pieces of cardboard, I am amazed they have lasted so well. I intend on using them for further projects, so they are kept for prosperity.

Stitching Project - Knitting Journal - Coughton Court - June 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.

Knitting Journal - Coughton Court - June 2019

Stained Glass Window at Coughton Court

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.

My June 2019 project is based around a day trip to the Coughton Court, Alcester, Warwickshire, UK. Inside the house, there were some beautiful stained glass windows, the colours are very vibrant, so I decided this will be my inspiration for my project this month.

Kaleidoscope of the basket of fruit & leaves

Colours were based on the bowl of fruit

Colours used are: Brown, Yellow & White

I used the basket of fruit & leaves from the stained glass to make a kaleidoscope pattern, to depict the main colours needed for the project. I was delighted with the finished photo, very detailed & really brings life to something historic.

In this piece of knitting, I wanted to incorporate the three dominant colours of the kaleidoscope photograph. I decided to use the 'Stocking Stitch Triangle Stitch'. I think the combination of garter stitch & stocking stitch give texture for fruit & leaves in the bowl.

The colours I used were:
Brown
Yellow
White

Stocking Stitch Triangles

This year, I want to explore different textures, so used a 'Stocking Stitch Triangles Stitch' in this project.
The stitches used in this stitch is:
- Knit
- Purl

Coughton Court

Coughton Court is a Tudor Country House in Warwickshire, owned by The National Trust. It is a Grade I listed building. The Throckmorton family owned it from 1409, the surname can be seen in the stained glass window.

Stitching Project - Blackwork Journal - May 2019

Blackwork journal - May 2019

Sandringham, Country Park, Norfolk

Alderman Pure Silk Thread

Leaves & Branches

Blackwork Journal 2019

In May 2019, my husband & I stayed in our caravan, with our little dog, at the Sandringham Estate, Norfolk. We were surrounded by the Country Park. My design is leaves & trees.

I used two colours for the blackwork. Green & brown. I used Alderman pure silk threads, using double thread.

The leaves design I found in a book, but I created the tree pattern.

I really enjoyed stitching this design, what a lovely memory from a very enjoyable week away.
