The prosess of making a new pattern

@brittarnhild

I am so in love with m y new Gotlandskofte, I already know I want to knit more, using the same measurements. I have been thinking for several days now about colours and patterns, and then, last afternoon, watching the sun shining down on this plant, the idea came to me..

I walked the stairs up to my knitting loft and started to play.

At Easter, when we stayed in an AirB&B in Stockholm, I "stole" a little top of one of the plants in the apartment. It is now growing here in the House in the Woods, giving me so much joy with its shapes and colours. 

First I made a drawing/painting of one of the leaves, then I tried to transfer the drawing over to a knitting pattern.

The colours on the graph paper are not the correct ones, but the pattern is one I think I will use.
Today I went to one of the yarn stores downtown in search for the right colours.......and I think I got them :-)

Now is time to make swatches.
