What peculiar times we find ourselves living in. I think back to the beginning of the Kaleidoscope CAL, in January, and can’t quite believe that was only fourteen weeks ago. The world feels like it’s changed so much – as indeed it has, for many, many people. For me, not a huge amount has actually … More What a (weird) wonderful world

It uses three colours, so one more than the square, but unlike the square, it’s worked in back-and-forth rows, so is a little bit trickier on the colourwork front. You’ll also … More The Kaleidoscope Blanket CAL – Part 02
