34 Degrees

That was the temperature in Melbourne today (in celsius). So you know when you love knitting when you are rushing home to get into it. My fabric panels had dried in the heat so I could pin them up and have a look.


This is my previous jacquard knit design made up into a skirt

My new panel pinned on. I wanted to try a more organic, abstract look and a larger scale.

I also like the reverse side a lot, but it's very subtle and you can only see it in bright light.

I've sometimes used the 'wrong' side of fabric when making things for myself. It can be more interesting or if I've dismissed it as being too bright, I've turned it around and then it can be much better.
