Spring Stitches sprouted from my other blog, 40 Shades of Life, and its focus on living in Cork, Ireland. More and more, my posts focused on knitting and other creative endeavors until it was clear that a separate blog was necessary to do the content justice. Why Spring Stitches? Well, Spring has always been my favorite season. It is a time of renewal as the dormant and hibernating elements of nature and life peek out into the world and once more brighten and enrich our days (and nights) with color, scents, and sounds. Spring is also a time of rebirth which strikes a familiar note with all those interested in creating things from recycled materials (aka upcycling). I am so happy you’ve taken time out of your day to visit Spring Stitches and hope you find inspiration, helpfulness, and a bit of creative sunshine here.
