March/april ami-along
Hello and wellcome to yet another fine monthly
As you have already seen with the previous installment, we've decided to do bi-monthly themes, which leave you with ample amounts of time to finish your projects. (procastination time included) So what do we have here this month?
We've put our heads together, theknittycat and I, and came to the conclusion that since on our side of the globe it's the beginning of summer, and the annual festival celebrating the renewal of life is upon our doorsteps, that SPRINGTIME and EASTER should be the topic to inspire us all this March and April.So let's see some patterns! :D
Bunnies start to get active this time of the year, hopping aroound everywhere...
birds return from their winter holiday, bringing songs galore for us
the vegetation starts to grow....
trees start to grow leaves
You can see more and more snails as the weatehr imporves...
and if you have good eyes - and luck - you can also spot beautiful fishies in the ponds
And young animals frolic around wherever you look :)
Besides the usual symbols fo spring,like flowers and young animals, we could also desing an ami in spring colors, wearing a nice flowery dress... the possibilities are endless.
But for those of you who find this topic less inspiring than necessary to cast on and craft away, FOREST FRIENDS might provide an intriguing alternative. Regardless of the weather outside, animals will remain cute - especially in some artists' translation to yarn. Let's have a look at some nice examples.
These bunnies are just squee-tastic, don't you think?
But the deer are cute, too:
And felines pop up here-and there
and bears, too!
The list could go on forever, and hopefully it will - by your contributions. I hope everyone finds a topic to inspire them this season. So carry on crafting, and share!
