WOYWW 871 Tricky perspectives and crochet

Hi all, 

I’m back for our weekly bloghop care of Sarah’s Craftshed. Sending healing hugs to Neet, and hoping you’re recovering. 

Here’s my desk:

You wouldn’t believe how tricky egg boxes are to draw, they’re a minefield of tricky perspectives. We’re doing watercolour over graphite so the shading is all done in graphite and the watercolour is applied on top. 

I have yarn left over from Brian’s slipover so I’m making myself a waistcoat (not to be worn at the same time he’s wearing his!)

I’m making this with just two colours of the yarn, plus cream, under Bella’s supervision, of course. She sends you all purrs. 

There’s a rainbow one and shades of blue & green, which seem to work well. 

One thing I don’t like about this King Cole yarn is the neps which are supposed to give the yarn a tweedy vibe. 

They’re only loosely attached so I’m pulling them out. They look dirty to me. 

I’ve also tried a ‘Melt the ICE hat in support of the people of Minneapolis. 

And finally ….

I’ll be round to visit when I come back from art class -I hope there are biscuits😀

Happy WOYWW

WOYWW 870 Tricky drawing and a completed slipover

Hi all,

I’m joining in with our weekly bloghop, and sending healing hugs to our Neet

Here’s my desk. This graphite and watercolour painting of an egg box is a dastardly exercise in perspective. Here’s my desk:

Here are a few of our winter landscapes from last week:

I managed to finish Brian’s slipover the evening before his birthday. 

I have some yarn left over so I’ve started a waistcoat for myself, under Bella’s supervision. 

She sends you all purrs. 

I’m using only two colours with the beige, a green mix and ‘rainbow sky’. It’s a little darker but I’m happy with it. 

We had a lovely lunch at Francs in Canterbury (which had an excellent review recently from Grace Dent). B wore his new cotton waistcoat:

And finally …..

 

I’ll be around after class so put the kettle on! 

Happy WOYWW 

Hugs
