Fairground Fun

01:35 by steel&stitch 6 comments
Recently I was asked by Paintbox Yarns to pick a collection of 10 colours, my favourite colour pack.  I love bold, bright colours, and chose my favourite, fall-back palette.  These are the colours I use for everything from embroidery to crochet, and love having a stash of them in DK cotton for all craft situations.



I recently used them to make a big, fairground inspired, letter cushion for Mrs.Boss (Katie), and thought I'd share the grid with you.  I've kept the format down to a basic grid so that you can use it for tapestry crochet, cross stitch, freehand embroidery, knitting, anything you like.  I also thought you might like other letters, so have designed most of the rest of the alphabet too.

Please share these to your hearts content, but we would love it if you could credit Mrs.Steel's School if you do.  We'd also love it if you wanted to share any makes with us!  Just hop over to Instagram and tag your pic with #stitchcraftandscissory.  Oh, and you can pick up the cottons at LoveCrochet ;)

      Hi Sharon, you spotted my weakness! 'S' is the hardest to work out, but hopefully when I've got my current commission workload out of the way, I'll be able to finish the last few xxx

    F is easy.....just remove half of the lower right bar of the E. S ? Try two small C's on top of each other, reversing second one and changing the "thick & thick " areas to suit.
