What's on Your Hooks and Needles in April 2025

Ah, the month I have been waiting for

and it's no April Fool's Day joke......

 

This month the CoM (colour of the month) is....

PINK

I felt inspired by this poem

that I discoverd.......sadly, I can't seem to locate who penned it.

 

Pink’s Lullaby

“Pink’s Lullaby” is a calming ode to the nurturing aspect of pink, often associated with comfort and care. It paints an image of a serene evening, where the color brings warmth to the world.

When evening comes in pastel tones,

And sunlight for the moon atones,

The sky wraps us in arms of pink,

As stars above begin to wink.

 

Like softest sheets on childhood bed,

Or gentle touch on sleepy head.

Pink’s lullaby, a soothing hum,

As day to night does finally succumb.

 

So rest your eyes, let dreams unfurl,

As pink engulfs the waking world.

To every heart, its warmth apply,

In the soft strains of pink’s lullaby.

 

Whichever colour and yarn inspires you to create warmth for the children, this month, please share your crafting with us all.

    • This is very effective, the plain colours make the stripes stand out, beautiful

    • I have an abandoned section from a failed project which I get out from time to time with a view to turning it into a blanket size. Maybe you've inspired me to actually knuckle down an do something with it, Karen!

      • Better to do something with it than it just sit abandoned and unloved as it is.  There's so many colour choices and stitch textures to play around with these days, and I'm sure you would relish the challenge.   Go on, give it a go, you know you want to ⭐

    • Magnifique et douce couverture Karen et vous avez l'art des assemblages inédits  et toujours avec la même excellence ! J'admiresmile

    • Lovely blanket and a great story.  Those forgotten projects seem to surface at the right time, even if it is years, to be completed.

      KAS is the winner to receive this blanket.

  • Just returned from a trip to the Washington DC area...hence my nod to Pink cherry blossoms.

    13533135665?profile=RESIZE_584xThis is for you Bev.

     As I was looking through patterns I hadn't used in a while, came across these frog eyes from 2023.  Thought they would make cute smiley faces.

    • Fabulous work, very jolly squares!

    • I'm smiling already, Amy. They are all just SO very cute!

      I especially LOVE the bottom left, who is looking and smiling at the rest.....SO clever.

      Thank you for the cherry blossom pic......I LOVE cherry blossom trees.

    • I love these squares, Amy.

      We have several of these trees in our road but it's a bit too early for them to bloom. Such a beautiful sight to come home to.

    • Oh Amy these made me gasp out loud.   Thank you, they're terrifically bright, cheery and such huge fun!!   More, more, more ♥️
