Four Shades of Pink
“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” – Leonardo da Vinci. This is one of my favourite quotations. Indeed, at times, simple projects are the ones that we need. People tend to think the more complicated, the better. Be that as it may, simple things have their own appeal. Therefore, an increasing number of individuals say that less is more, meaning that simple projects can be alluring and eye-catching, just like any other sophisticated project. This particular granny square is a beginner-friendly block that can be used for various projects such as cushion covers or blankets.

Rainbow Circle Granny Square
Do you like colourful granny squares? When it comes to colours, the sky is the limit. How to find the right combination? When you look at your skeins separately, at first, you might not see their full potential. It might even happen that the colour you loved earlier is not what you pictured once you use it in your project. So the best idea is to dry different colour combinations until you find the perfect match. As I love playing with colours myself, this time, I decided to introduce a bit of rainbow into my new granny square.

Orange Blossom Mandala
There is something magical when it comes to mandalas. The combination of colours and texture is so pleasant and relaxing. I love making them, but I also find them so addictive. Once you start making one, there seems to be no end to it. It is always tempting to add one more round to make it look even better, and the only thing that limits you is the amount of yarn that you have purchased for your project. This particular one was so much fun to make. It can be a table decoration or used to create a pretty pillow. Pattern: by Tally’s Crafts Recommended yarn: Scheepjes Catona Recommended hook…
