Homages to the homage to the square

josef albers homage to the square

I’ve been a little more color-happy this summer than … possibly ever. So before I inevitably begin to slide back into my neutral comfort zone, as fall squeezes out summer, I wanted to call your attention to these two projects. Both are inspired by the late, great Josef Albers and his Homage to the Square series of color-study paintings.

LEFT: The Albers Cowl, designed by Ann Weaver, is a variation on the traditional log cabin square. (The version pictured was knitted by Craftivore.) Pattern at Ravelry.

RIGHT: The Color Theory Coasters are by Diana Rupp and are included in her book “Embroider Everything Workshop.” It’s just plastic canvas, tapestry wool, and a felt backing. And there’s a full-on video tutorial at Design*Sponge.
