About Sophia

Sophia plans projects colour first. Her flower guides show how a palette changes the same motif, which yarns hold a petal shape and how blocking turns a curly piece into something worth displaying.

She writes for makers who want a small, satisfying project with a clear finish, whether that is a single stem, a garland or a doily. Her instructions keep the petal count and the join placement visible from the start.

Working method

Choose the colour, then build the motif. Every flower guide gives the petal count, the yarn weight and the blocking method that keeps the shape.
