I've decided to base my next series of prints on knitting -- my first trial print is one illustrating the yarn over stitch. I think I might do a series just on different stitches, but I'm not sure yet. This was carved on some old unmounted linoleum I got from Dick Blick some time ago. I really like how it carves but not so much how it prints -- the texture is too rough for me, plus I have to mount it if I want to print it on my Vandercook. My husband suggested trying to use sandpaper to make the texture better so I might try that next. I unfortunately bought this linoluem in bulk so I'd like to figure out a way to use it and be happy with it!
