Lily Pond at the Brickworks - Toronto |
It took me a while to get a picture that actually looked like the idea I had in my mind when I designed Lily Pond scarf. Water Lilies are at their best in July and August and then only on a sunny day. In my mind I saw the rippling water and the reeds that fringed the pond. I had to capture this is lace.
I have been fascinated by a drop stitch pattern in one of Barbara Walker's Treasuries. I knew that I would knit it one day. Well, that day came when the idea of a lily pond and that particular drop stitch pattern merged. Here is my mind's image made real.
