How appropriate for this last day of 2014 and our launch with anticipation into 2015 … Midnight is a lovely tangle from Britain’s Chrissie Frampton, and it’s been almost exactly a year since we first enjoyed her very pretty Telis tangle pattern.
Chrissie has signed up for the CZT 20 training seminar in June of 2015 and is one very excited lady. She writes about her pattern inspiration, “I called it Midnight after a pattern I saw in the film ‘Midnight in Paris.’ ”
Midnight in Paris is one of my favorite movies, and I especially love its Grammy-winning soundtrack. Woody Allen strikes again. But let’s get back to Chrissie.
Chrissie illustrates the step-by-step instructions for drawing Midnight below and in her monotangle demonstrates several variations.

Chrissie also sent along this page from her sketchbook where she developed Midnight and even more variations including Chunky, Skinny, Squeezed, Leaf-like and Half versions.

That’s it for 2014, I’ll be back on Monday with another great tangle! Thanks again for a wonderful year …
HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!!
