Going outside my comfort zone is something I try to do as much as is possible. This month MCBN project (which you can read on Minerva here) is no exception! I pushed myself to create a garment using colours that I normally steer away from. Colours that I believed to be completely unflattering on me. And yet I was pleasantly surprised to have a well-appointed garment that I have been wearing constantly since snipping the last thread!

The morale of the project? It’s good to step out of your comfort zone occasionally!
