Day 47
A lovely cycling day but very cold to sit and draw outside so I cycled to the Manuka shops, along a hilly route which gives my legs and lungs a good workout. I hoped I could draw in one of my favourite shops, The Shearing Shed, which has been supplying lovely wools since long before the current resurgence in knitting. This is just one corner - I love how this shop is so stuffed with delights - one can feel everything and dream about what one might make with this or that. Thank you, Hope, for welcoming me. 10 km
Hi Alison
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful sketch of my shop. I have printed it and am going to show your skeych to all my customers. Thanks heaps.
Wish you have a very colurful day everyday!
You've captured that stuffed-full-of-warmth-and-colour feeling very well. Makes me feel all cosy!
ReplyDeleteDelightful. I never managed to master knitting as a child (the tension got tighter and tighter until I had to hammer the needles through) so I envy all of you who've cracked it and can make all this lovely stuff.
ReplyDeleteAs an avid knitter I wish we had a shop like this near me, looks wonderful and you have caught it so well.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely illustration! And I commend you on doing this challenge for a year - what wonderful benefits you will reap, in health and in skill!
ReplyDeleteI love the warmth and fulness of this sketch. Don't you just love to just look at shelves full of wonderful possibilities?!
