A Proper Look See
Normally when I’m working on studio samples, I have to be careful about what I show you because of the nature of how they are sold. Today, however, I’ve been working on some ideas for samples in a sort of “6 degrees of separation” kind of way so I can show you them. It may […]
Peaks and Troughs.
I’ve been a very lucky girl over Christmas. I’ve had the luxury of time over the festive period. Time to spend with family and friends. Time to relax and knit “fun” things (ie not work and all for me). Mostly I’ve been playing with the wonderful gift my husband bought me for Christmas. This is […]
More Knitting Experiments.
The joy of being on holiday is being able to play!. I’m sorry for the exclamation mark but I am super excited about my knitting plans at the moment. It is so nice to feel really inspired and motivated in my work. Anyway, you’re more interested in what it looks like aren’t you. For a […]
Knitting Module
Guess what?! I’m on holiday!!! For those observant souls amongst you, you are probably thinking “But the plan was to start your holiday 20th December” and you are indeed right. That was the plan. And now it’s different. For a variety of reasons, I’ve decided to finish the shop sweater I’m working on (and nearly […]
A Change To Our Schedhuled Programming
Since today is Saturday, it’s reasonable to expect a post about some talented chap or other. However, I’ve decided to have a little rest over the next few weeks. There’s lots of things happening at Triskele Towers and working on all them, as hard as I have to, means I don’t have time to write […]
First Looks at “Hetherington”
Yesterday I started work on a new sweater design. This is becoming a regular opening statement isn’t it but I’ve got a few designs that I need to work on and now commissions are out of the way, I’ve got some time to do just that. You’re not really interested in the why though are […]
A Tangle of Cables
The second commission is now off the needles. I finished it last night but had to wait for some decent daylight in order to take some photos. Mother Nature, however, had other ideas and today is full of grey dampness. Still, I’m a determined young woman and managed to find something approximating light and took […]
Time and Tide and Buttered Eggs.
My husband asked me what I’d like for Christmas the other day. Please don’t panic at the use of the “C” word. It’s normally banned in our house until at least the middle of December, however, Boy works shifts and so we tend to think of our time in blocks of 4 weeks. We talked […]
Grafyairden
Do you remember the series of posts I wrote about my design process? I talked about what inspires me and how my use of imagery starts to inform the piece. Then I looked at how I choose yarn and final design elements which all work together in a final garment. The piece I was working […]
Tempting Glances.
Over the last few posts I’ve talked about the process I go through when I’m designing a garment. That’s not to say that it’s my only method – it all depends on the inspiration – but it is my more usual way of working. The next part of the process is the one that takes […]
