until next year, foliage and yarn

  

seablanket

Seablanket is complete.  Three months of slow crochet.  

 My intention was to use the colour palette of the coast, just a short walk from here.  This blanket is how I see the seaside.  Blue skies // grey skies // darker grey skies // green seaweed // blue sea // green sea // brown pebbles // beige sand.

I am surprised by how much blue there is now that it is finished - that wasn't my intention. I claim to dislike blue but I'm not sure that's true anymore.

quiet january + seaside crochet

I wanted this space to be an honest document of my creativity – I didn't ever want to post something for the sake of it.  And in real life, sometimes there are periods when not a lot of making or artfulness is happening. 

And that's OK.  There hasn't been much studio time, so there hasn't been much to show.  I'm hoping that will change soon but until then I've been slowly working on a blanket.  It's the perfect project to pick up and crochet little bits here and there.  I'm calling it Seablanket and it is inspired by the colours of a grey day at the seaside.

december, suddenly

This space has been too quiet recently.  Not much to share, for now.

finding pine cones

There just isn't that much to show at the moment.  Other things have taken priority and I haven't put thread to fabric all week. 

 But, it's all going to change very soon and the studio awaits.  Tidied up and ready for action. 

 In the meantime, 3 small finds: a pine cone found in a field, a vintage crochet pattern found in a dusty shop and string inspiration found in a book.
