Step Into Spring

Step into Spring sample pages in my sketchbook. A great way of comparing fabrics and colours and wool to help choose which combinations to use for the outfits.

I wasn't sure how I would get on with yellow. It has never been a favourite colour of mine although I do love it in nature from the cheerful daffodils to the winter jasmine. Lovely tones of yellow.

From my notice board I chose several images that particularly appealed to me for this colour scheme.


There is something particularly elegant about the yellow and blue combination particularly when ivory or white is included. Very fresh and clean.

With this selection the fabrics are mainly pretty cotton prints but there are a couple of fabrics which are silk/cotton mix.

Many of the knitted samples use lace weight shetland wool as I wanted light weight knitwear for this collection.
