A wonderful canvas for painting with yarn and using bits from stash, it is the kind of pattern one could knit many times

My palette is inspired by Paul Klee’s watercolor works after his first trip to Tunisia (North Africa) in 1914.

“It was in front of Kairouan’s walls that the painter Paul Klee had this epiphany: “Color and I are one. I am a painter”.”
