Cambridge Diamonds
This project took nearly a year to complete! I made a mistake early on, and once a month or so I would sit down to try and undo it, and it wouldn’t work. Then one day I decided I was determined to fix it, and I finally did! The interesting thing about this pattern is…
Dublin Dragons – Frogged
This was my first silk project. Also my first skip hole weave. It was way more difficult than I intended it to be. The silk was incredibly thin, the cards were always tilting to the side, and there was no easy repetition to the pattern. I was used to none of it, and it took…

My first attempt was with “pearled” cotton, but it was too thin and tangled easily, especially with the heavy cards I was using. My second attempt,…
