Most of my thoughts on the blog so far have been directly about knitting or yarn. Sharing my projects and progress.
As the seasons change and the spring flowers take over the garden I thought I would share what is currently inspiring me.
In my very first post I wrote about how craft feeds the soul, the grounding factor that creates peace and provides escape. The action of making something, creating an idea in my head, and then using my hands to make that idea come to life.
This is definitely the driving force behind why I craft. It is my escape, my happy place and my creative outlet.
Everyday, out in the world, I take note of how colour occurs in nature. The combinations of colour and the vibrancy catch my eye. How amazing are these colours from my garden this morning!?!?!

How can seeing this beauty in nature not lead to inspiration?
To begin with it makes me happy. I put hard work into my garden throughout the year and these are the results of that work. Proud displays of the care that I have taken.
Flowers and foliage are also great guides on which to base colourways for yarn. Nature has a way of getting things right, so it is fun to try to capture that in dye.
I grab my camera out frequently to capture these types of images. Fuel for my creative fire.
What inspires you? Where does your craft inspiration come from?
