New Starts and Inspirations

 Hello everyone,

It may seems silly but the image on the left was just what I needed to hear. I don't know about you but I seem to be full of ideas and light-bulb moments - but that is all they are - moments. I never seem to make anything of them.

That is going to change from now on I will seize opportunities and make good on my light-bulb moments as much as I can.

Starting this week.
I have signed up to Sketchbook Revival - it is an 11 day challenge with various tutors bringing their own ideas and techniques. It is free to join just follow this link to sign up and join in. I will share my doodles with you in future missives, no matter how bad they look to me....

 Easter Weekend I met some friends for coffee at a newly opened cafe called Worsley's  in Godshill. It has a friendly, cosy atmosphere and lots of lovely cakes, including vegan and gluten free. After we finished we strolled back to the car park and stopped at a few shops - one of them had this gorgeous blue tile. Inspiration! I am not sure at the moment if it will be a knitted or crochet piece - watch this space...  if you were using it what would you make? Blanket, jumper, shawl? The possibilities are endless, but I am sure once I have played around with it a little something will leap out and say ME!

I have always had a soft spot for tiles, and this beautiful tiled entrance to another building in Godshill caught my eye. This would make a wonderful shawl or blanket design, although I will probably change the colour scheme. It reminds me of some quilting patterns, but I really think it would be a great crochet blanket. What colours would you use? Brights? Purples, Oranges and Greens?
Or something a little more subtle like pastels?



At the moment I am trying to finish off some projects, I know not like me at all.. Normally I finish one project and then start another 6  😊😊
Just off the needles - My Scrappy Flax Light Jumper, the pattern is a free one from Tin Can Knits and can be found here
Now I am finishing off the cardigan I started for Jo - Vodka Straight Up by Thea Colman, I choose a mid grey and used a hand dyed yarn from Little Boo for the contrast - I will put some pictures up when it is finished.

WIP's at the top of the pile anyway - Juneberry Cardigan, a pair of Solace Socks (for me this time), and lots of lovely things in preparation for Open Studios in July

Well I think I have rambled enough now, so I will sign off.
Until next time
Happy crafting
Hugs
