Notes

Another stunning pattern from Eleanor, and a perfect summer show piece cherry_blossomcherry_blossom
I am always guided by my romantic tendencies and this project is no different. My modifications include lace sleeve cuffs and hem and a complete indulgence in all the prettiest spring colours . More pictures to follow if the rain ever stops here in Jozi revolving_hearts

Some colour notes

I was most privileged to be given the opportunity to try Cowgirlblues lovely new range of merino linen and kidsilk multi-colours range , and they did not disappoint! revolving_hearts
My base is ‘call me maybe ‘ merino linen held with either Pata Pata kidsilk multi or the kidsilk multi ‘call me maybe’
I then faded with the two merino linen pinks or the stunning Karoo gold and a respective mohair shade. I used their merino twist sock for the very dark contrasts and that I just held on its own.
