See that bangle on the right-hand side of the picture that is blue and silver. Thanks Katie for pointing out the complete inadequacy of that sentence! Stumpwork Bee. I've finally completed the DMC stumpwork bee kit.
Sadly, these kits (there were about 6 in the series) are no longer on the market, which I think is a shame given the helpfulness of kits when learning a new technique. You have all you need to complete the project as well as detailed instructions and diagrams that walk you through the process without the need to go and buy a number of specialist items. Anyway, here's the creation of the bee itself in turkey stitch/ghiordes knots. Here's the turkey stitch trimmed and combed out (with an old toothbrush) Below I've added in the legs in DMC black metallic stranded thread and eyes using one black seed bead each: One of the wings in progress (wire secured to a double thickness of calico, then wing worked in DMC white stranded metallic. Wings attatched from various angles And the completed piece in its entirety © Elizabeth Braun 2009. Leaf Cup Cuddler. I designed this beverage sleeve as a series of connected meandering leaves.
Hand knit out of a luxuriously soft wool blend of 50% Acrylic 40% Wool 10% Nylon, it is completely machine washable. The fiber content also makes it a wonderful insulator as well as a hand protector. It works well with both cold and hot beverage cups. It does a good job at catching those pesky drips, too! This leaf cuddler also works wonderfully on a porcelain cup like the eco ”I’m not a paper cup” coffee cups. I originally designed this quick knit Cup Cuddler as a PDF knitting pattern. Technical specs: Skill level is some experience needed. If you're interested in information about the completed Leaf Cuddler, click HERE.

Free Crochet Pattern: Teddy Bear Coaster. Super Versatile Cat Bed. Tutorial - For A Special Valentine. Valentine's Day is around the corner and I came up with a simple little project for our loved ones!
It doesn't have to be only for Valentines, it could be a gift for anyone who has our heart, for any occassion, any time of the year. The idea is a crochet heart shaped paper clip. Confusing? Not at all! It's so simple. So, the basic materials are... a big paper clip (around 8 cm), a yarn of your choice and a needle for crochet, of course. First, you'll have to bend the paper clip. Then start with the main knot on your needle and start using just the single crochet, only each time you go under the wire of the clip.
Continue all the way around the paper clip. Pick the yarn and turn it under the wire. then pick some yarn and bring it up again. Pull it through the first knot and then another stitch through the other two In the end slip the last stitch through the other end of the row and tie off. Just as simple as that! And in different colours or slip stitch. Οδηγίες - Για Έναν Ξεχωριστό Βαλεντίνο. Dandelion Flower Knitting Pattern. Free Crochet Pattern: Box.
