Unravel

Unravel was amazing!  Hop over to my public blog http://caughtknitting.blogspot.com/ for more.

loose ends

Oh, my, it was not a good idea to wait until I'd knitted nearly all my swatches for M2 before blocking them and sewing the ends in.  Here's where I got to yesterday afternoon...

M2

I obviously need to buy more red yarn.

Barcelona: underfoot

I seem to have spent so long looking down that I'm amazed I didn't trip over...

soft colours on a grey pavement: I feel a colour scheme coming on...



I like the juxtaposition of these two designs

pavement tiles: Gaudi sea creatures design

same design (slightly smaller) used as floor tiles in Casa Mila

reproduction of tiles in the museum at Casa Mila: note the "do not touch" sign.  Good job I'd rubbed the pavement tiles earlier....

 Please excuse the odd layout of these pictures, Blogger and I are not getting on very well this evening!  The one below is a mosaic floor in a church, but has all sorts of possibilites: fairisle pattern, aran cable with bobbles, slip stitches...


 

The hand of God.  This is mosaic flooring in San Pau del Camp, as is the picture just above on the right.



 

Hmm, Blogger has mysteriously eaten one of my drain covers, bet it doesn't taste as interesting as it looks.

 

Here be Dragons!

Ran away to Barcelona last week (to escape my 50th birthday) and found a wonderful assortment of dragons which I'm sure will come in handy as inspiration for one module or another!





Phew!

At last, at long, long, last: module 1 is in the post.  Roll on module 2.  I'll try to be more organised and to work faster this time :)

Colour

No, I haven't started on M2 (I am DETERMINED to get M1 done and dusted this month) but this caught my eye as I headed to work this morning:

This is part of a local scheme to liven up empty shop premises with artworks by local artists.  And this one, made from cut up book covers, couldn't be in a more appropriate location.  Galloway & Porter is a much-missed remaindered, secondhand and antiquarian bookshop which went  bust earlier this year.  And the artist, Lisa Wilkens, works for another secondhand bookshop.  Click on the pictures to enlarge them and read/see more.

And now back to mounting and labelling.
