Mandala and Paris



Hook Size: 4mm
Yarn: Vinnis Nikkim in Green Slate, Slate, Stone, Sea Green, Aluminium and Grey
Pattern: Stool cover pattern by the lovely Karin aan de Haak with the last 3 rounds my own improvisation.

 I love Paris, these are photos I took during our last trip.  We have been to France so many times, but always during Spring, Winter and Autumn. Somehow a Summer vacation to this beautiful city and lovely country has never materialized.  I certainly rate Paris along Istanbul, Damascus, Hanoi and Rome some of my favorite cities to visit!

Hope you are having a great holiday and are visiting nice places - we are off on a trip soon and I am looking forward to indulging in street food once again. Cheers!

      The aluminium I believe is a new colour. Vinnis works fantastic in the blue/grey/green colour combos!
