Episode 6 The Woven Almanac Podcast - A cast off, a cast on, cross stitch, incoming inspiration

Welcome back, crafty friends. It's time for Episode 6 of The Woven Almanac. Today, we're wrapping up the "One Love Mystery Shawl" by Joji Locatelli, as mine is officially off the needles and blocked. I'll share my pros and cons of the pattern. Let me know in the comments how you've got on with it if you joined the MKAL. I've also cast on a new pair of socks in a gorgeous Christmas yarn by Birdstreet Yarn. I'm thrilled with the self-striping and colours. If you want to join in the KAL on Instagram, use the #serotosocks and tag Ally. Next, I finally got round to blocking the latest "Glow hair frost scarflet" by Stephen West. This is my second one, and I love it even more than the first; the colours are right up my street. I wanted you to see how blocking really pulls out the details of patterns. Finally, I've also been doing some slow cross-stitching. It's nice to have a little project to dip into, especially as the cold, dark nights have arrived here in the Netherlands. Thanks for tuning in again. Much love Dawn xx Visit my vlog channel ‪@Dawndaysvlog‬ More regular updates on my Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dawnsdays/?...
