Textures



These are pictures from the knitting pattern I'm currently writing. The right side of the work, (top photo), should look like scales, which I think I've managed pretty well. The bottom photo shows what the wrong side of the work looks like.

Happy new year!

I spent the first day of 2013 in Brentwood with James and we encountered a little piece of yarn bombing outside the Chicken and Frog Bookshop.



It seems to be the work of Claire Mackaness, proprietor of craft business Beautiful Things, who teaches classes at the bookshop. She has a blog post about the yarn bombing here, although the wool in her photographs is quite clearly different to the wool in my photographs. Presumably it was replaced at some point, but I can't find a second post to confirm this.

Here's to a fun and warm 2013!
