‘Join me for a wonderful day full of inspiration, creativity and yarn!’
Using architectural images as inspiration, we will get creative with coloured paper and pencils to create graphic collages that we will then translate into chart form, ready to make your own unique knitted collage from.
We will cover how to translate basic blocks of colour and texture from your collages, into a knitting chart, the basics of intarsia, and how to combine colour and texture to add depth to your design.
This class will give you a real insight into how I created many of the designs from my collection 'Abstract'.
