Doodling Knits

Knitting stitch by stitch, creating loop by loop, has inspired me to pick up the pencil and doodle. Gosh, it feels like a century since I've last worked with pencil. It feels good to get back into the swing of things with my illustrations. Hopefully I can keep it up while being busy with the knits.

I have finally finished it! Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a passionate knitter. My knitting inspired me to draw this illustration. This probably isn't the last of a knitted inspired piece...I am sure there will be more where that came from. I went through a few of the same sketch before I got the ending result I wanted. I originally was going to do this piece in color, but I was having a hard time coming up with a color scheme in using colored pencils(I have not got my paints yet, so for now I am using my colored pencils).
