Textured knits are always popular. No I'm not talking about goofy knits that you find around Christmas time that have the fuzzy reindeer plastered on the front. I am talking about feel of materials. Combinations of knits, purls, and yarns.
As I've mentioned before in this blog there are many, many different kinds of yarns. Each yarn made of different mixtures of materials, each yarn has its own suitability and each yarn creates its own fabric. When I use texture in a project I like to use stitches to create texture not just the yarn. Yarn and stitches working together. There's nothing simple about choosing textures or stitches or yarn for a project. Especially when its for someone you love very much. I think texture, like lace knitting, is delightful! I very much enjoy creating a fabric that captures the senses of sight and touch. Two projects pictured below, a current unfinished project and a project I finished for my Aunt several years back. My Aunt was very special to me. She too was a knitter, she used to knit while watching her game shows and the Yankees games on TV :) She was a huge Yankees fan. When she went into the nursing facility due to Alzheimer's disease I made her an afghan to keep her warm. When my mom gave her the afghan, she remembered me and said my name. I was in tears of joy. She's passed on now but I think she approved of my effort :) First my current project, then Aunt Velma's afghan.
