    I love this Stella! For remembrance, it's terrific. And looks easy!
    Especially stunning on the white back ground.

      The white background certainly helped to make it stand out. Easy and fast were the main priorities, I want to get some thicker yarn to try it with though.

    Oh this is gorgeous Stella, I particularly like the one on the white background as the colour really pops there. Very pretty. - Tasha
