Iron Craft ’15 Challenge #9 – Knit Fantasy Garden

The theme of this challenge was faux and we were to make something the looked like something it isn’t. I had seen some interesting knit gardens at a shop in Madison recently and thought it might be fun to try making my own.

My inspiration for the garden was Alice in Wonderland with the bright colors and mushrooms. I am thrilled with the end result.

I spent a lot of time coming up with how to knit the different shapes and get a layout that I liked. I’m particularly proud of the toadstools. Then I had to stop myself from adding more and more things!

Since I was still knitting and adding the last pieces yesterday, I do not have the patterns in a format to share with all of you yet. I’ll post the tutorial and all the knitting patterns in Thursday.
