Visit my Knitting Art online shop if you'd like to have a copy of this painting for yourself or a friend! It is available on posters, cards, t-shirts, a good-sized canvas (knittng) bag, tile coaster, and much more! As featured in Vogue Knitting! Paintings in the series : Knitting Art on CafePressMy CafePress shop sells a wide range of merchandise, and is based in the USA. This merchandise is printed on demand. In recent years knitting has become more than a sometimes pastime for me, and more of an obsession. I even have a knitting Blog, many projects on the go at once, a growing yarn stash, and am a keen member of our local Stitch'n Bitch knitting group. |
7 : Blue Willow Is there anything more timeless than blue and white? I wanted to feature a classic Willow Ware tea cup in this painting, but didn't actually own one. I started to trawl through the local op shops, and was delighted to discover a cache of these sturdy British cups and saucers within only an hour! The skein featured in this painting is gorgeously soft 2 ply laceweight hand-dyed wool, which is mostly a soft blue, with highlights in purple, blue-green, and greys. The Aero needle gauge is an old fashioned design which I also discovered in an op shop. The needles are, appropriately, Aero Knitting Pins.
