Notes

I started this swatch during Felicity Ford’s workshop Quotidian Colorwork at Edinburgh Yarn Festival. I used my new trainers as my inspiration source, which were still brand new when I wore them at the festival.

The first motif I played with was the bold white line on the side of the shoe. Then I moved to the shoe’s tip as well as the red logo in the back of the sole. Right now I am exploring some of the geometrical shapes of the sole.
