Daisychains ABC Crewel Sampler

Daisychains ABC Crewel Work Pattern Sampler by Alicia Paulson

Found via Feeling Stitchy, and created by Alicia Paulson of Posie Rosy Little Things.

The pattern is available for sale in the shop.

Isn't it AMAZING!

It's my newest project... just ordered the crewel wools and fabric... it will measure 23cm x 32cm

Blogger

I'm using the new blogger design to type this post...

Its a bit odd... no change to functionality but looks very different...

Also read this recently too... Google are retiring the Blogger brand name...

I don't subscribe to "if it ain't broke don't fix it", as I quite like change and shaking things up... as long as it doesn't mess up my blog!

iPad madness (part 7)

My iPad jam jar is at £126.68.

My fund raising efforts have stalled - too busy working (for no pay!) but I need to get going again as I still really want one.

Found this helpful tutorial on Ravelry - how to link your Ravelry library to GoodReader.

I don't have GoodReader but I think it would be good to link my Ravelry library to it....

knitting - cardigan

Whilst browsing through the hundreds of projects I have favourited on Ravelry I clicked through to my current favourite cardigan to discover that the designer Woolly Mammoth (aka Linda Wilgus) is having a knit along on her Ravelry group. So I have decided to take the plunge and start the cardigan (despite having several other projects on the pins...)

I decided on Patons Linen Touch, for several reasons - I wanted a cotton or cotton blend (not too warm and less chance of bobbling) and also to try out the yarn. My black acrylic swatch was just looking too fuzzy for my liking....

I'm going with black - more chance of me wearing it. Hope the cabling still looks good...
