Ah…April. The cherry blossoms are waltzing in the winds here in Seattle and my allergies are alive and kicking too. The pollen app tells me that Birch, Ash and Juniper are active right now, and I suspect that Birch is the main source of the symptoms. Fortunately, the snuffling and sneezing seem milder this year.
I should be allergy-free by April 30th, the day of my next Tatter class! I’ll be guiding folks through the slightly lesser known version of Japanese Sashiko Embroidery called Hitomezashi. Hitomezashi translates to “single stitch” or “one stitch” and the patterns look more complicated than they are — in fact, the method is quite easy. I’m currently working on additional samplers and bonus material, which I’m loving. If you’d like to join in the fun, details are here.
Ok, that’s it for today. I hope you’re having a lovely spring season and would love to see you in class!
