Folks, a while ago I discovered a clever form of #knitting called illusion or shadow knitting.

It’s where a pattern is formed by stitches that only appear when viewed at a certain angle. It sounds complicated, but it’s just a combination of basic knit and purl stitches.

Anyway, I thought I’d do a quick test and I made this maple leaf and I must admit, I love how it turned out!

I think I might have a go at making a larger piece that can be viewed from the side, so I can hang it somewhere in the house.
