finally got my hands on ...

... some coloured twine from The Twinery!!!  I've been admiring this beautiful 'string' on cards for a while and as Julie Ranae, our fabulous DT Co-ordinator and Senior Designer is also DT Co-ordinator over at The Twinery it will come as no surprise that they are sponsoring The Play Date Cafe Colour Challenge this week :)


I doubt it will surprise you either that I crocheted with mine!  I wanted to see how the twisted colours would turn out :)  This gorgeous bakers' twine comes in a rainbow of different colours and as it was scheduled a 'colour splash' week Julie had the brilliant idea of players (you guys) choosing your own colour splash colour ie make a project using mainly black and white with a splash of one colour of your own choosing.


My colour splash choice was Maraschino Red :)


Don't spend too long deliberating over a colour, just choose one and go for it ;)  But if you'd like to see some gorgeous inspiration, head over to the cafe to see guest designer Julie Ranae's stunning project, and hang out with our design team here~

  4. The twine really lends itself to crochet.
    A lovely, simple piece, Sarah and 'less' is definitely the new 'more'.
    I suppose that is a silly cliche, but we sometimes need to be uncluttered.
    Love it!
