April 2025

This month I was requested to knit a pair of socks for someone to give as a gift. Information: size 9.5; Favourite colour: purple; Taste: feminine. 

After conducting some thorough research, I landed on Fairy Maiden by This Handmade Life, because the pattern felt seasonally appropriate and lovely, especially with a solid colour yarn to highlight the stitch texture. The yarn I chose English Lavendar by Ancient Arts Fibre Crafts Socknado.

Huge headway on my hand quilting! I got the scrappy binding sewed up and ironed, and I've started hand stitch the binding in place. I've decided to use a visible ticking and to switch out the coloured threads along the way, because it's more fun.

That's it - Happy crafting! Nic ♥
