Exhibition 2008 - Forth Street (1)

I'm not sure how this one is progressing... I think its one I need to leave lying about to gain a better perspective... which means it might not be ready in time for the exhibition.

I love ravelry.

I'm trying not to get carried away. After all, I am an occasional novice knitter.

However. I was so inspired I bought 4 balls of Sublime Extra Fine Merino Double Knit wool and printed off a pattern for a cardigan for Toddler Girl.

Two days of knitting whilst Toddler Girl bossed her Granny and Papa about has yielded this...

I know I know I know.

I should have been:-
restarting Through Miller Terrace - I'm going to use a finer thread
starting To the Windmill
starting Forth Street - I have a new idea, inspired by this manipulated photo..



My exhibition is in less than 2 weeks and I'm knitting a cardigan!

Exhibition 2008 - Forth Street (1)

There will be 3 pieces on Forth Street. Well... I'll aim to do 3!

I have used Forth Street before in 'A Patch of Sea', although I made it look more symmetrical in the stitching.

There are three views that allow you a glimpse of the water between the houses or over the rooftops.

These will be done in colour and be less textured (I think) than 'A Patch of Sea'.

I'm aiming to use the buildings (above photo), bushes (a patch of sea) and rooftops (not taken a decent photo yet!) to draw the viewers eye in, into the water.

There is a distinctive lamp post on Forth Street which I hope to incorporate too.


I'm not sure yet how I'm going to do this series. I loved the pulled effects in 'A Patch of Sea' and like the use of buttonhole stitch in my Magazine Doodling Designs piece... reminds me of roof tiles...
