It’s funny how design ideas for a prompt sometime come at me in a flash while others take a lot of thinking about. When I read about the latest spoonflower challenge, Novelty Paisley, the image of an octopus twining itself around paisley shapes immediately shot into my brain. A few hours later and I had my design!
I adore a stripe and really don’t design enough of them so it has been fun playing around with them for this week’s Spoonflower challenge. In my book the challenge here is to create a design which will stand out in the challenge but actually be saleable!
I can imagine the challenge will be full of floral type stripe so I wanted to steer well away from that concept. I sometime think it would be nice if Spoonflower had a challenge where florals were banned!
I got inspired by my winter sweaters and cable knit patterns and came up with this cable knit design
I got so carried away I built a whole load of colorways, here are a few but you can see the whole collection in the Knit One Purl One collection
