A Blackwork Christmas - December

Welcome to the final edition of A Blackwork Christmas SAL! I've had a lot of fun over the last twelve months making these, and I am glad I succeeded at finishing them all! It hasn't always been easy to keep up what with one thing and another, but I always managed to catch up in the end.

As always it's a bit difficult to photograph purple accurately, but I think I got pretty close this time.

I didn't use a craft thread for the cord this time, but instead I used the same thread as I used for the cuff as it's one of my older, pre 90s threads that needs using up. The thread is DMC 209, The beads are TOHO TR-11-2224 Silver-Lined Purple, and finally the Kreinik is #4 Very Fine Braid 012.

The lining fabric I used this time is a rather pretty geometric pattern.

Have fun stitching! I'll see you tomorrow for the next part of the Mini Magical Mystery SAL 18!
