March 2016

Here is a wrap of of March this year:

I started a new cross-stitch pattern! I actually bought a kit for this one because I was having trouble sourcing a similar fabric and I really wanted to try something different. This is 38 ct Crystal Cashel Linen in Chablis from Picture This Plus, which is glittery *gasp* be still my heart.

Hey I love a good challenge, I tried out brioche knitting this month, choosing a very simple pattern and pairing a light grey with pops of the darker contrasting colour, so I could really understand what was going on and wowza, brioche has pop! One day I hope to knit Stephen West pattern. 

For socks this month, I had a gorgeous skein of blues and teals and the pattern called Maya Socks by Nina La Fountaine with its gentle waves really seemed like a match made in heaven. And the result is so good. This is an outstanding pattern that I hope to knit again.

That's it - Happy crafting! Nic ♥
