These days we are working away to sell our home, buy a home, and somehow produce enough inventory for Twist ;) So of course I decided to throw a wrench into the works by developing an entirely new colour. My process usually begins one of two ways. Mostly it starts because I take a photo…

Kim’s Barn is the colour of the month, isn’t it? There was my Lelly, my Shireen socks, and this lovely Brickless from the ladies at Yarns Untangled: I can’t get enough of this bright, fun colour though, so today I wanted to show off my vacation FO – Lelly, by Martina Behm. I love her…
