Rainbow Warrior - 11

I've tried to emphasise the shadows and deepen the colours today. I only worked for a few hours this afternoon...this morning I went out to a knitting and craft group at church which I've now been going to for a few months. I love creating and my knitting is a perfect hobby to help me relax and concentrate on something totally different from my artwork.The colour reproduction in the flash of my camera isn't totally accurate, but you get the idea...this is the back of a sweater....great fun!

More on the knitting stuff.

Well...here's a photo of today's progress. I've now finished the rib which although isn't in rib stitch, is the border at the bottom of the sweater. I've since moved onto the main body of the pattern. Below is a picture from the Kaffe Fassett book which shows what the sweater will look like hopefully!

 

Knitting progress.

Here's a rather blurry photo of my progress today...it's actually the second attempt as the first one seemed to have gained a stitch and threw all my calculations out...the red is knitted on smaller needles and forms a fold under cuff to the hem..it will be stitched into place after making up the garment. The rows with dots in are the hem of the back and are not ribbed. the pattern will continue in diagonal stripes lie the book illustration my knitting is photographed against.I shall of course be using similar colours to the ones you see knitted here.
