In addition to our usual segments, Gayle and I talk about inspiration. What kinds of things inspire you to choose projects? Colors? Fibers? Patterns? Photographs? We get inspiration from many places. Our surroundings, websites, color and fiber swatches and other knitters all provide fuel for the inspiration fire. We are both looking forward to the discussion about everyones' inspirations and hope you will join us over at our Ravelry group. Some links to our inspirations that can be found online can be found below. Enjoy!

Thanks girls for all the inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the talk about knitting inspiration. I tend to focus on the structure and engineering behind my knitting, and the colors, yarn, and art come later. I'm definitely looking to branch out in my thinking, and considering looking around in nature and what-not is a great way to help move my thinking towards that kind of inspiration. Thank you!
