Rosemary and her friends at the Constant Knitter in Francis Street, Dublin have been encouraging me to try some teaching – a couple of workshops are lined up.
The first (23 Feb) is full up, so there will be a second on the 23rd March.
The workshops will look at colour in knitting.
I’ll be showing a selection of knitlab swatches and talking about colour inspiration and techniques, and then there will be a knitting session to try out some of the techniques.
I noticed love2knitnpurl’s mesmerising Shetland Ruffles on Ravelry this morning:

zoom captures light passing through an abandoned web:
zoom in low lighting creates soft textures:
maximum zoom creates painterly pixelation:
Killiney beach – some of these photos taken with the Chrome filter, which exaggerates colours and gives a slightly metallic look:
