Inspirado

Why is it that knitting inspiration only strikes when I have very little time to knit? I haven't picked up the needles in three days as the combined result of packing, a lovely visit from my boyfriend's family and the new Harry Potter book. And suddenly this morning at work, a pattern idea for an entrelac bag hit me out of nowhere. I sketched out the basics of it on a post-it. That's all I really had time to do. And then this afternoon a fair isle pattern popped into my head, completely unprovoked. I actually spent my lunch hour charting the fair isle because I didn't want to forget it. There are plenty of good ways to create a fair isle chart and let me tell you, doing it over lunch hour on Excel while wondering what will happen to Harry Potter ain't one of 'em.

It's a kind of Baroque pattern inspired by a building I saw months and months ago. I'm thinking that it should be knit up in these colors.





I need to pack! Why the sudden inspiration?

    I love the colour combination you will be knitting in. I hope you get more time as it sounds interesting.

    The sudden inspiration is because you need to pack, of course! By the way, I'm pretty excited at the idea of Baroque-architecture-inspired-Fairisle. I wish that was the kind of thing that just popped into my head!
