ReplyDeleteI had a hard time coming up with names for my four daughters, so just imagine how hard it is to come up with pattern names!
DeleteI think dated name for this project is great since it shows the evolution and timeline of your patterns. Another lovely design!
ReplyDeleteIt's also easier for me to keep track of what I've done!
DeleteThat is a good idea. I thought this pretty number had been tatted in coloured thread, but no, it’s a coloured light behind.
