So having watched a you tube video where. Kaffe describes his design process. He intuitively knits from scratch, blending colours in the fly. I have pulled out what I see as my autumn colours from my stash. Here goes some blending, aiming for
9wpi.

Completed a two day intarsia knitting workshop with Jen Best of Beaker Button and felt ready to crack on. Wish me luck, no idea how I’m going to carry this project around.

Mr would like me to turn this into a wall hanging. I like the idea of hanging this in our bedroom wall. I’m sure at what point to stop. This is obviously intended for a tall person to wear and the width of it means I can guess how heavy even a shorter one would be for me. I have no idea how I’m going to mount this.

Last week I sourced some poly wadding and a knit type fabric for the backing. Adding some garter stitch strips to the sides, before quilting it. Then I will need to embroider the leaf veins on.

The colours are more true to life on the photos taken outdoors, but it has gone up on the wall. I wanted to record the fact that it is no longer folded up in a bag.
