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 on the fields of wheat in a village where my family has lived for centuries. The parish registers started in 1538, and my ancestors are on the very first page. This beautiful village is called Deddington, in Oxfordshire, England. It is where I have run my ballet school for the last 21 years. My family still lives there.
I made a kaleidoscope pattern of the wheat & a beautiful, detailed pattern emerged. I was able to identify the colours needed to make my square. The colours I used in this sampler were: Brown, Light Brown, Cream, and Green.
In this piece of knitting, I wanted a plain piece of stocking stitch, but with a few flecks of colours to reflect the wheat, so I used 'Dot Stitch' to do this.
