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 week's visit in May 2019 to the Sandringham Country Park, Norfolk, England. My husband and I, plus our little dog, stayed in the country park with our caravan. Bella, our dog, just loves walking around the country park, trying to find rabbits and squirrels. The leaves on the trees and the ferns were only just starting to grow, but it is still a lovely place to relax and unwind during May.
Sandringham is owned by HRH Queen Elizabeth II and has been in the family since 1862. The family traditionally spends Christmas at Sandringham.
In this piece of knitting, I wanted to incorporate the three dominant colours of the trees and fern, brown, green & orange.
I decided on the 'Speckled Rib Stitch'. I think the combination of long stitches and bobble stitches gives the impression of the trees & the country park floor.
The colours I used in my sampler were: Brown, Green, and Orange
