Well, as you can guess, I'm not going to be featuring a Fibre of the Month for December.. But I would like to round the year up by summarising the 10 months in fibre that I did do, here in one place.. In the UK at this time of year you see all sorts of 'countdowns'.. for example; the top how-ever-many all time favourite Christmas songs, or best TV moments of the year, and most momentous news events.. etc. etc.. this post reminds me of them for some reason :)
I thought it would be nice to look back on all the different projects, and it might be useful to link to the posts so it can be a sort of directory.. or index page, to make it easy to find the info in the future.
Anyway.. hope you enjoy looking back as much as I did

So there you are.. a years worth of fibre experimentation - and didn't that year go fast?!
I shan't be doing Fibre of the Months from now on as I'm finding it hard at times to keep to the deadline :) But I SHALL still be featuring new (to me) fibre, I'll just call these Fibre Features and they will appear as and when.
I hope that you are all enjoying the season! Today is the shortest day of the year, the Winter Solstice.. I have always loved these darkest days of the year.
Solstice light and love to you all!

Great idea and lots of great projects and samples. I love the alpaca :)
Have been following you years and the project info are so informative and you're very generous to share. Thank you so much and wish you a happy holiday and New Year 2015 be filled with creativity and happiness. Thanks Deborah.
Fajne prace. Bardzo podobają się mojemu synowi Dominikowi. Mówi, że są jak z filmu Hobbit.
