Designing


How do you make your designs?
What's first, the yarn or the colour?

People ask me a lot about how I design.
So this is a post about how it worked for 2 projects.
This scribble on paper in the first picture
is the start of my design
for the Pannenlap.

And is working out like this:




And these great yarns were the start of the
Ballee Baby Blanket XXL


Sometimes I start with colours, and sometimes I feel a yarn, or see one, and it just tells me what to make of it!

How do you work?

There are a few days left before I pick out the winners of the free Ballee Pattern Contest!
Let me know your answer :)
Don't be shy..
