patterns...

i've been looking at mehndi, where the feet are decorated with henna in intricate lace patterns...

and imagined what the effect might be if the pattern was from a different culture, like mine...

this has brought me to fairisle patterns

my own, humble collection of fairisle including 

one, genuine, vintage, shetland yoke neck sweater complete with hand darned repairs!

i love it very much

these grid textures on sauchiehall street remind me of grid paper patterns
