Pretties Go Postal

Well - another way of putting it would be that this is what I shall take with me next visit to the post office to give to the kind soul who returned my bookmark.

Sue Hanson's Snowflake pattern      #60/100

While waiting for the next inspiration to land:


This is a pattern designed by Angeline Crichlow
Umintsuru used it to tat the border of the hanky 
that she presented to me here.
Sweet, isn't it?

    1. Margaret,
      There is only a very little of this thread left and so I am just doing little samples as it will be gone in about one more foot! It is a lovely colour and would tat a fantastic edging. I shall have to wait for Jess to get out her dye pots again!

    1. Hi Val,
      This is Jess's Calliope Light - made after a batch of regular Calliope, which is much more saturated and available in Jess's shop. She dyed this at the end of a regular batch resulting in this lovely muted coloured HDT which I ADORE! It is all used up now, and at the moment, there is no more! Alas, only Jess and I had a skein of this. : (
