I just joined a new group on Ravelry called Design Along. Sounds like fun! Alyssa, owner of a super cute and informative blog named Alyoops! came up with the idea and is the hostess/moderator for the design along. Thanks Alyssa, because my designer butt is kinda dragging after my first ever (hurray!!!!) submission to a major online knitting magazine. Sucked the designing wind out of my sails. This design along is just the ticket to get me fired up again! Group description or mandate is below:
"Here’s the premise: Four times a year, a theme will be posted up. If you want to participate, you sign up and post a picture that is related to the theme that inspires you. After one week, the pictures are compiled and a mood board will go up - from that mood board, participants each design and knit an original piece.
So join us in expanding our design portfolios, flexing creative muscles, and making cool things!"
Edited for finding an inspirational blog post on designing by Jared Flood!!! You can see it here. And here is a picture of his swatching/designing wall. LOVE IT!!!
Yippee! So glad you're making things, Melissa. Really, really awesome!
