Complex and needs extra thread, but lovely
This is such a beautiful blessing. I made it as a wedding present for my daughter, and we both cried when I read it aloud at her shower. It's gorgeous.
I used the recommended colors. I added her name and the wedding date on the bottom row, after AMEN, there was plenty of room (I modified the month and day patterns for this.) But be aware you will need TWO skeins of the darker green, 3818, for the border pattern. (The key is not super-clear, but I used 909 for the lettering and 3818 for the border.)
Be aware that there are MANY half-stitches, and the Celtic knots around the border are not easy to sew. Also the silver thread is challenging to sew with. But the result was worth it!
