FRESH IDEAS WITH THREAD

It just wouldn’t be Christmas without donning a festive jumper or two, and now these seasonal stalwarts are also sneaking into our stitching!

As you flick through this month’s pages you’ll notice texture is the big theme running throughout – whether it’s emulating the cosy knitted rows in Georgie Emery’s bright pullover patterns, creating the densely stitched afro puffs in our superb cover portrait, building layers using appliqué and thread for our knock-out wall hanging, or simply adding some smooth metallic accents to your projects, we’ll show you how. Needles at the ready?
