For me, colour and texture rule and most of the inspiration feeding my imagination comes from the natural world. I see knitting as art, as viable as any other, and no matter what the tool or preferred palette, in human hands, magic happens.

BLOOM!


Here's a light, fun to knit, wrap that combines Inner Circles with free-range knitting to evoke the ebullient glee of springs first blooms. Use your favorite flower colors and create something festive and wearable. Try working the main wrap in colors most flattering to your skin and eyes and then pull out all the stop for the 'blooms'.My colors hail from the hues in Tuscan pottery I've collected on my Italian trips. To me they represent every season in one. The blossoms of spring plus plump juicy autumn fruit cohabit in the same stylised season in a rich swirl of green, gold, orange and blue.

Recent Comments I am delighted to find that you also write. I've been following your knitting site and was so happy that your novel is about an angel in New Orleans, well, maybe not "about" an angel, but it's in the title, so... I've visited New Orleans several times (Just 3) visiting my brother when he lived there and we combed through the cemeteries. That's where I found the angel who was sobbing with her head covered in grief for the passing of her sister. It was so moving that I have the photo framed in our hall. She's beautiful. Couldn't wait to order your book! Thanks!
