Knitted Pictures of the Boathouse at Meher Spiritual Center, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

These are pictures of the boathouse at Meher Spiritual Center. They are knitted with the same chart (apart for the last one) :

Blue & white 7"X13" (top left)
The original picture, knitted in 2005

$180.00

Sold

Colorful (middle, left)
Rainbow colors instead of one dark yarn
Sold

at Night 9"X12" (middle, right)
Local color instead of the 2 on the chart
Sold

This chart is magical, it's possibilities endless. Even though it demands attention, as you can see the chart is very simple. I still have on my list to try it in 2 sided knitting, quilting technique, small local yarns and by the time I will do these I am sure there will be other ideas in line.

The Boathouse at Fall
17 X 20
Mounted on foam board
$150.00

This picture is done with the same chart, but knitted sideways. I used variegated brown yarn for the boathouse and trees. For the lake and sky I used 3 blue yarns and the 3 yarn technique .
Instead of knitting a gauge piece I decided that each purl row will be a repeat of the row before (blue=blue, brown=brown. This gave the picture a 'computer card' effect.
