Egyptian Crescent
Posted in beads, colour, design, donnie, dublin, flowers, garden, inspiration, knit, nature, pattern, water, wildlife, yarn on June 15, 2020| 2 Comments »
A new pattern now available from Ravelry and my website:
A luxurious crescent shawl inspired by the opulence of ancient Egyptian jewelry.
The color scheme of gold and precious stones is echoed in dibadu’s handpainted 100% silk yarn, Seda Encantada.
The yarn is held double; each color comes in two 50g skeins of slightly different colorways, adding depth and richness when held together.
Knit with three colors: 094 red, 116 yellow and 124 blue. The yarn is available from dibadu.de

Happy New Year!

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:

The face of knitlab appears again –
the worried expression can be interpreted as “where’s that treat you promised??”

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:
