Hoop hoop hooray!

The first of the three hoops is complete! I'm looking forward to painting the wood in bright colours when I've finished all three. But the stitching has to go on hold for a brief while as I have a knitting project to complete in time for a birthday. The yarn arrived today (Garnstudio's DROPS alpaca) and it's super soft. Hope it knits up well. 

I haven't done much knitting for men, but I'm sure these rather lovely manly colours should go down well. Just need to choose which ones to use. My weekend's activities are sorted at least :)

Happy crafting!

It's all new...

So... new year, new job, new stuff for the blog. Life got a bit busy and I'm now proudly the Art Editor of CrossStitcher magazine. But now that things have settled down a little, I've made time for me and I'm getting up to all sorts of crafty adventures. Unsurprisingly, I've started stitching again and am embarking on a set of three geometric hoops of my own design. Here's a sneaky preview for now, then more to follow as I progress...

Absolutely in love with these colours right now. And chevrons too of course!

Happy crafting
