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 - August 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.

My inspiration was canal folk art |
Red, Green, Pink & Yellow |
Double Moss Stitch |
My August 2019 project is based around a day trip to the Canal Museum, Stoke Bruerne, Northamptonshire, UK.
I love traditional canal folk art, so wanted to use this as my inspiration. I love the bright colours used & the brush strokes of the patterns.
I took a photograph of flowers along a side panel of a barge.
In this piece of knitting, I wanted round textures in the knitted square, so I decided to knit in moss stitch.
The colours I used were:
Red
Green
Yellow
Pink
This year, I want to explore different textures, so used a 'Double Moss Stitch' in this project.
The stitches used in this stitch is:
- Knit
- Purl
