Knitting coral

 

Some coral inspired knitting.

Nature drawings

I have been drawing from coral and plants, my favourite is the tomato stalk!

Nature magnified

I have been looking at coral and seeds under the digital microscope and I'm really pleased with the resulting photos.

Resolution

A couple of mono-prints from my last project (Norfolk coast) and two of my presentation boards with knitted samples.

New project

My inspiration for this project is the Norfolk coastline and this drawing reflects the colours I plan to use.

This is a wool throw I made for my sofa last summer, so that I could get used to casting on and off with my knitting machine.

jolly knitting

Here are some photos of my knitting samples, some of which make me smile - hence the "jolly knitting" heading.

Knitting

I am knitting, knitting, knitting, inspired by my drawings which have been inspired by the seeds and fruit I've been studying. Then I put the knitted samples in the washing machine along with all the black stuff that needs washing (in case the colour runs from some of my own-dyed yarns) to "felt" the samples. There is a proper word for this process, I think it's called "fulling".
