I swear I didn't plan this timing, but I used Hobbii Rainbow 8/4 cotton for the Beach Rills dress, & they just happen to have a massive sale on this weekend!

With a fab range of solids & prints in this cotton, you can really make it your own!

How about some closeups of Beach Rills?
The chevron and wave stitches are inspired by the ripples left in the sand by the outgoing tides.

#FiberuaryChallenge Monochrome.... well kinda. My wardrobe tends more towards the colourful but I've decided on neutral with a pop of colour for my next cast on.

#FiberuaryChallenge Love is.... mending the gloves you knitted for your partner a few years ago!

#FiberuaryChallenge You know what is my LEAST Favourite thing? Trying to block garments at this time of year 🤦‍♀️
Pattern: Seaglass Cardi @woolandpine.bsky.social
Yarn: De Rerum Natura Ulysse & handspun
A grey and multicoloured cardigan lying flat on blocking boards. It has turned cuffs and a shawl collar. Despite a fan heater, it is still extremely damp and will probably take forever to dry.

#FiberuaryChallenge Unfinished Business - I started this project nearly 4 months ago but it was a rocky start & got put aside in favour of other things. It's about time I paid it some attention again, at least to finish 1 chart repeat & decide once & for all if I like it or not!
A barely started knitting project on the needles in front of a yellow canvas bag. The hem ribbing has been knitted in beige yarn and there are a few rows of colourwork with a variegated yarn remininiscent of stained glass.

#FiberuaryChallenge Work in Progress and Pop of Colour - I think this can count for both. I try not to have more than 5 WIPs, including my long-term scrappy blanket & smthg small/portable. Just sleeves to go! Colour is a handspun yarn from a fibre advent. Seaglass Cardigan @woolandpine.bsky.social

Hi 👋 getting to know things over here, and figured my first post may as well include my 2024 embroidery journal.

Still building my feed so happy to receive your recommendations for all things fiber/fibre arts, sewing and embroidery!
