January's "Spoiler"

Can you see the blue in the painting that I picked up on for the yarn? If you look under his chest, there's a lovely blue mixed with black that caught my eye. To that, I added little bursts of white to add a bit of light to the darkness of the colourway. This is painted on 100% superwash merino with a lovely tight twist - enjoy!

January's "Teaser"

I had fun with this one! I ended up being a little wee bit fixated on a certain colour of this painting which will be explained further with your package :) The teaser hints at the colourway but doesn't give away all - you will see what I mean when you get your yarn! Enjoy everyone!

January's Inspiration - Caravaggio

If you keep up to my blog, you would know already that I visited the Art Institute of Chicago recently. While on my trip there, I had the good fortune to see several different art pieces that were truly gorgeous and for this month of the club, I decided to draw on a piece from the artist who was having a special exhibit at the Institute while I was there. This piece is entitled Narcissus and I love looking at Caravaggio's version compared to Salvador Dali's. Same premise but such a different take.

Here's one shot I got of Carvaggio's work while at the Institute:


Happy New Year everyone!
