  • Frosty Morning

    I’m thrilled to share my first PUBLISHED needlepoint mitten pattern from our 12 Months of Mittens series, Frosty Morning!

  • Vertical Row Pattern

    I featured a stained glass heart design previously and today is a take-off of the design showcasing a vertical row pattern using scotch stitch.  I mentioned previously that Dominique wanted to experiment with some stained glass designs. This is the second variation that uses up various bits of thread colours leftover from previous projects. All…

  • Brown Needlepoint

  • How To Use Brown

Not to mention, it’s quite versatile. At one point in time, you’ll likely need to pull out your stash of browns…

  • Fall Themed Mitten

    Today, we’re continuing on with our 12 Months Of Mittens Series with this Fall-Themed mitten pattern. Unlike “traditional” Fall colours that consist of deep oranges and forest greens, this one is a bit brighter.  This is one of several mittens I stitched earlier this year so I could have it finished for photography purposes.
