Art-Deco Tablerunner
From the website:
Someday I will own an art-deco cedar chest crafted by my great-grandfather. My aunt and uncle, who love the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, introduced me to the joys of travel at a rather young age. I spent a college semester in Glasgow, where the marks left by Charles Rennie Mackintosh are proudly exhibited. With this background, when I saw a cable pattern in a book of Viking inspirations, I immediately began envisioning its use in an Art-Deco knitted design. This table runner, with its sleek, streamlined twisted stitches and biased stockinette mimicking wood-grain play is the result of the adventure. I used a bamboo/silk blend yarn to represent Art-Deco’s fascination with man’s achievements and its revelry in luxury.“
