Ink Circles - Celtic KnotAs an in between stitch I made a small celtic knot this week. I wanted a finish (I love finishing something) and I also wanted to try out DMC color variations thread. So I took some left over aida and stitched this up in a couple of evenings.

I used two threads of DMC 4215 (blue/pink/purple) on ? count aida. The pattern is from Ink Circles and can be found here (it’s a freebie!). It is the september pattern.

I liked the color variations. I find that monochrome patterns stitched with color changing threads are gorgeous. I ordered some Vikki Clayton threads that I am dying to try out… maybe I will start on a bigger Ink Circles pattern someday… I have my eye on Cirque des Cercles in the color Dragon Blood (Third picture from the bottom).
