In 2009 we suddenly took an interest in illusion knitting. It was very different from the mathematical work that can be found on the main part of the Woolly Thoughts site. As we searched the Internet we became more and more confused by the different descriptions and decided there had to be a better way so we looked at the technique with a mathematical, logical approach. Since then we have gone on to develop our own method of charting and, by doing so, we can now create far more complex designs than anything we had seen before.
Our method of charting can be used for anything from the simplest picture or lettering through to very complex illusions such as Mona Lisa or Girl with a Pearl Earring.
We originally intended to publish everything we have discovered about illusion knitting as a book. We have decided against this for various reasons:

The charts in some of our patterns are very large and do not lend themselves to being split over several pages in a book. All our pdf charts are given at page size which you can blow up to any size on your computer. Large designs also have charts broken into several sections so you can print them out and tape the pieces together.

It is extremely difficult to photograph illusions to good effect. They are much more exciting in real life than they are on paper. They need to be seen moving or with the viewer moving round the illusion.
