    The painted Fan is my first attempt at hand painting with dyes. It has become the basis of my header for the patterns I create and inspiration to keep on trying new things. Pattern was Nightfall Fan by Deborah Robinson.

    Ok – everything is set up and I am at the knit until I am done stage. The only decision left is do I make a scarf or a shawl – I am thinking a shawl! So I will need another ball!

    I already have a plan for the finishing. But I won’t need that for a while.

    Isn’t technical stuff fascinating? My phone has an app. It is AI based of course. But it will take my rough sketch and turn it into art. If only I could really illustrate my knitting pattern ideas so well! It has been really fun to play with so I will be trying this out more!

    Use the slider to see my sketch of “Quickie” and compare to the AI finish!

    I have written up Quickie as a PDF. Click HERE to download the pattern for free.

    Happy Knitting
