Piet Mondrian Felted Bag

This knitted & felted bag is representative of the artist, Piet Mondrian's technique of using primary colors in abstract design. Piet Mondrian (1872-1912), Dutch artist and important contributor to the De Stijl art movement is famous in part for his use of primary colors and abstract design much like the artist, Kandinsky. This bag has a lovely ruffled top edge and the gorgeous wool yarn is kettledyed and felted beautifully. An ICORD felted loop reaches over the top edge to catch a gorgeous fashion shell button in shades of blue. The lovely interior has a large pocket and the base is twice reinforced and covered with a fashion fabric which is primary colors in an abstract design. Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy!

Harmony (impressionist shawl)

This lovely shawl is knitted in a palette of impressionist colors on two needles knitting back and forth without turning my work. Two yarns were used and one was carried up the edge and caught with the next set of stitches back and forth creating a lovely impressionist palette with novelty yarns swirling out at strategic areas giving this shawl an airy, whimsical & romantic look. I added fringe to each end and each side is hand knit ruffles giving this a lovely look for any time of the day or evening. My attempt at impressionism with yarns & impressionism's 'en plein air' attempts to emphasize vivid overall effects to achieve an intense color vibration expressing a bright & varied use of color. This wearable attempt at impressionism expresses a bright & varied use of this color palette. Thanks for stopping by.

Aurora

I have been thinking about the Aurora Borealis and trying to figure out a way to batik them without looking to cartoony... This is number 1 in an open series. Let me see how far we can take this!

Chantilly Lace Fingerless Mitts

I knitted these lovely lace patterned fingerless mitts when I was attempting to design fingerless mitts for bridesmaids for a wedding in October. The bride will be wearing white fingerless mitts but these are only for my use. The bridesmaids will be wearing black & white. I also knitted a white lace garter for the bride. These fingerless mitts are knitted in all cotton variegated yarn. I hand stitched lovely green seed beads around the top edge and around the thumb gusset. I embroidered French knots around the lower top edge to highlight the seed beads. I also knitted ICORDS 8-10 inches long & placed seed beads at each end for embellishment. The ICORD pulls through to tighten the mitt on the wrist area.

Piet Mondrian Fingerless Gloves

I knitted three more sets of fingerless mitts/gauntlets and the cables turned out beautifully. The one with the primary colors is named Piet Mondrian because he was an artist who painted with primary colors. The one done in beige & other beautiful colors is really a beautiful yarn which creates these beautiful colors as I knit. The last pair I knitted from NORO Silk Garden which is stunning yarn. Please enjoy these three new sets of fabulous fingerless mitts/gauntlets.
