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 day trip to Coughton Court, Alcester, Warwickshire, England. Inside the house, there were some beautiful stained glass windows, the colours are very vibrant, so I decided this would be my inspiration for my project this month.
I used the basket of fruit and 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 and really brings life to something historic.
In this piece of knitting, I wanted to incorporate the three dominant colours of the kaleidoscope photograph. The colours I used in this sampler were: Brown, Yellow, and White.
I decided to use the 'Stocking Stitch Triangle Stitch'. I think the combination of garter stitch & stocking stitch gives texture for fruit & leaves in the bowl.
