Summer Knit Alongs
Holly's Shoreline
*

I love seeing where knitters draw inspiration. Since all of my designs are inspired by one thing or another I always set a criteria that knitters joining my KALS post a photo of what inspired their projects. Holly's is based on waves rolling to shore at a beach, whereas, Sharon's shown below was launched by a Turner painting. Each entry features short rows as a knit painting technique. The results give so much movement to their projects.

The winner, Sharon's, wrap was inspired by Turner but I blocked oput the bgedspread it was originally photographed on hoping to better show the short-row color work.

Colleen was fueled by memories of thye beautiful west coast where she lived and worked for many years. She's captured those deep, mystic blues perfectly (white addition courtesy of her cat)
