When you always make your meaning perfectly plain you end up boring people” - Edgar Degas** When you stand in front of an Impressionist masterpiece, what do you see? Quiet vibrancy, indistinct edges, and clear warm light. The richness of ordinary moments captured in glimpses: this is the true magic of the Impressionists. They chose subjects from their everyday lives and lifted them up exactly as they saw them, beautiful even in their imperfection. Somehow, by showing us how much there is to celebrate in a fleeting glance, they invite us to look deeper. The Impressionists showed us what they saw, but left room for our imaginations as well. Our creative work as knitters also grounds us in the same sensory experience of each moment: colour and shadow, softness and weight. The mystery of making, whether you are laying down brushstrokes on a canvas or knitting yarn together stitch by stitch, remains the same. **Size** One Size **Finished Measurements** Approximately 213cm (84") diameter across top edge 56cm (22") neck to bottom edge **Yarn** Voolenvine Yarns; Nouveau [100% superwash merino; 365m/400yds per 100g skein], 3 x 100g skeins, Colourways: A: Solstice B: Curious C: Thaw OR Actual amounts used for sample in a fingering weight single ply yarn: A (Light): 65g/237m/260yds B (Medium): 85g/310m/340yds C (Dark): 90g/329m/360yds **Needles** 4mm (US 6), 100cm (40") long circular needles (or size to obtain gauge) **Notions** Tapestry needle 21 Stitch markers 1 removable pin or stitch marker [1]: https://www.ravelry.com/discuss/curious-handmade/3763159/1-25 [2]: http://curioushandmade.com/subscribe/
