Style. (illustration style, that is)
I created something a while ago, while I was experimenting with computer illustration, and it’s a style that I think I wish to explore a bit more:
I uploaded a photo that I had taken years ago, of the Cathedral of Notre Dame (in Paris). I Illustrated it in a was that was a bit more abstract, and I purposely left a lot of the space blank. I did it again with the Circle Building Illustration, which was latter chosen for a business card for an Architect:
I was just looking through my older illustrations, and I miss it. I look foward to making more work that incorporates this style. And, maybe not just in buildings. I want to see how it looks with other subject matter…. 
Photos Comming Soon…etc. (an update)
A friend/client has offered to take some photos of some of the items I have knitted. Soon, for the first time, I will post photos on my site
In other news, I am still definitely making illustrations and freelancing. Also trying to find a part or full time job, hopefully (and I am crossing my fingers, here) in something design related.
Most of the items I knit are for sale. I sell scarves in the wintertime at a local botique, and am open to selling items online, as long as it’s paid for by check, and the check clears before I send out the item.
I am just starting to look into the possibility of selling items in online shops, so, stay posted. Mabey in the future I will offer things online, in a way that is more condusive to web shopping. But for now it’s the old fashioned way.
Also, I am definitely getting much more into the fashion aspect of making clothing (through knitting). Since most knitted items are worn, it definitely makes sense for them to look good. I have always paid attention to color, but lately I have been more into not only color, but texture, pattern, drape of material, cut of material, and just general clothing related things. My recently redecorated inspiration board helps a ton. (It’s now %75 photos of clothing)
So, anyway. That’s where I stand. Again, hopefully I will have some time to draw up some more quick illustrations for my blog. I will do this as time permits, but I will do it. So, stay tuned
Chevron Pattern (Double Knit)
So, here is the latest pattern I have created.
This is also for double knit, there are many tutorials available online for it. I suggest finding one (if you dont know how to do it) that incorporates using three double pointed needles. It is much easier then using two standard ones!
(Hint: You cast on double the number of stiches you need for one side, then you seperate the cast on stiches to two different double pointed neadles, alternating the stiches. It makes it easier if you cast on two different colors at the same time, and then seperate it by color. Then knit each side seperately, turning around the work when you finish each side. It makes a world of difference! If you do it this way it’s pretty fun)
(Mabey I’ll make illustrations of how to do this. Let me know if anyone feels it would help.)
Good luck
Argyle iPhone Cosy
since I can’t post a pic, because I have no camera at the moment, I made an illustration of my newest design.
here’s a rough idea of what it looks like.
~enjoy.
(the blue/green one was a comissioned piece. The pink one was inspired by the blue/green one. I will be making more for sale. - he suggested it)
BTW, I finished it yesterday, and sold it earlier today.
Diamond Double Knit Scarf Pattern
Here is the pattern I made for a reversable double knit scarf.
It is a repeating pattern. You repeat the columns a-j as many times as you want, and then add an a at the end. You repeat the rows 1-8 as many times as you want, and then just end with the last one as row 1.
