Just because you’re a beginner knitter doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be able to create gorgeous, handmade knitwear for your family and friends. Today, knitting is practiced as a hobby, and more often than not, a passion. Knitting has been around for centuries and early on was practiced out of a necessity in order for people to have warm, durable clothing. I have added this piece to the end of my freshly-edited tutorial video so that the inspiration track and the fruit that it has born now sit together in the mix.Īll of which is to say, hurrah for sharing our ideas and for how things we create and put out into the world come back to us and feed into other peoples’ making.If you’re a beginner knitter or just have a hankering to give it a go, we’ve got the blog post for you. Towards this end, I have been attending classes at the Point Blank Music School and my most recent assignment remixes some of the same tracks by Rrrrrose that originally appeared in my videos for my online courses.
I absolutely love this artists’ work – it is so playful, generative and spontaneous – and when we corresponded for our interview, I realised how much I wanted to make music again. In the original video – as in the entire course – I used some of the glorious sonic works of Rrrrrose (formerly Monplaisir)/Loyalty Freak Music.
The excerpted video is the same as in the KNITSONIK Bullet Journaling Course apart from the music, which has been very slightly changed. Since it is cited as one of the Special Techniques for the KNITSONIK & Friends: Colour to Knit eBook, I have excerpted my tutorial video for this from the rest of my KNITSONIK Bullet Journaling Course so that anyone can now access my drawing/journaling technique here.
I decided to share my illustrative method for quickly trialling colourways in my journal before casting on as part of the KNITSONIK Bullet Journaling Course because it has been so helpful for me to use in my own designing processes and because I know I’m not the only one who wants more colourwork joy in my journal! It means a lot to see my ideas helping other peoples’ creative processes – this is the whole reason why I teach in the first place – and when we began talking about the KNITSONIK & Friends: Colour to Knit eBook, I was thrilled to find that the other designers involved had all been using my method in their journals to help bring their design ideas to life. This is the method I used for producing all the illustrations for the KNITSONIK Playbook Colouring Companion and the illustrations published in the piece I wrote for the Shetland Wool Week Annual about the iconic SWW Hats. …and share my method for swiftly producing knit-stitch illustrations from charts, in order to test out colourways and get a feel for how the shapes of knit-stitches will impact on the final effect of a design. In this section, I talk about the very real ways in which some of my creative stranded colourwork designs have come to life in the messy pages of my KNITSONIK Bullet Journal…

Have you done my KNITSONIK Bullet Journaling Course? It is a course that shows you how to organise everything in your life in a dot-grid journal in a way that works for you, that is just for you, that feeds your creativity, that keeps all your important things in one place and – very importantly – in a way that makes you happy.īecause I’ve based the course on my own journal use, and because stranded colourwork is so fundamental to my creative and professional life, the course includes a segment called Bullet Journaling for Stranded Colourwork.
