Wire wrapping free tutorial by ~Aniolek-maly on deviantART African Flowers Bucket Bag I love the African Flower motif and suddenly just had the desire to make a bag for my knitting. Took a bit of playing around to figure out how to make the shape I wanted. I wanted a bucket shaped bag. I ended up breaking the shapes down - I made a tube from the hexagons and then a circle for the base. I used the magic circle technique for the centres and crocheted over the ends of the yarn and connected the hexagons as I went. I managed to find some fabric in my stash that matched the colours of the cotton and used this for the lining. There was a bit of yarn leftover so I made a little drawstring pouch for my stitch markers. Bag Construction Make a tube with the hexagons, eight across and 4 high. Complete a round of sc (UK dc) around the top and bottom of the bag. Using a bit of geometry I worked out how big the base circle wanted to be ( I measured the width of the tube and multiplied it by 2 to find the perimeter - then divide it by pi (3.14) this should give the diameter of the circle)
how to crochet a heart I am so excited to share another how-to video for my current crochet obsession: hearts! Many of you liked our how-to crochet a flower video, so I know I'm not the only one who sometimes learns better by watching. Sometimes just seeing it done makes all the difference! These little sweethearts are simple to make using basic crochet stitches. Crocheted Heart Pattern Supplies used:Size D crochet hookSize 3 crochet thread or embroidery floss(Or use any size hook/yarn you have on hand--it will just change the size) All stitches worked into the first chain. Ch 4. After playing around to create this pattern, I noticed Skip To My Lou has a similar heart pattern. Good luck with your hearts, and let us know if you have any questions.
Turk's Head Knot Ring It's been a while since I posted on my blog but I've tried a new technique inspired by the metal working turk's head knot guru Loren Damewood on It has been a very long journey since I first saw Loren's website and then started searching the internet frantically to find out how to do this elusive knot (see below for where I found tutorials). I made about 4 leather knots to get the feel of the technique before trying it in silver wire. the above photographed ring is 0.8 mm gauge sterling silver wire and is a single strand of wire passed through the knot twice. Here's some things I've learned on the way:1. Gauge of wire discussion. This 0.8 gauge was too thick. 2. 3. 4. 5. 5A. How to do the Knot: Get to know this knot first. First He is the god of doing metal work and turk's knots. Now how a turk's head would transfer to wire. Write down donbscout's instructions. Now refer to
Le millionaire shortbread Ce célèbre gâteau anglais mérite qu'on le nomme par son nom anglais même si de nombreux sourcils d'incompréhension vont se lever quand vous le prononcerez Mille et une fois depuis 3 ans, j'ai croisé ce gourmand sur la blogosphère et j'ai enfin trouvé le bon moment pour l'essayer. Il s'agit donc d'un petit carré qui fera le bonheur des cafés gourmands constitué d'une couche de biscuit, d'un caramel crémeux avec sa petite couche de chocolat : un Twix! Et contrairement à ce que je pensais, il est hyper facile à faire. C'est en Cuisine de Caro que j'ai trouvé mon bonheur pour la recette. J'ai juste fait un biscuit un peu plus épais pour une demi-Flexipan plat ou le nouveau petit format! Ingrédients pour le biscuit : 150g de farine 90g de beurre ramolli 50g de sucre Préchauffez votre four à 180°C. Au batteur équipé de la feuille, j'ai battu le beurre mou avec le sucre, puis ajouté progressivement la farine à petite vitesse. La pâte obtenue est granuleuse, mais s'agglomère très bien à la chaleur des doigts.
Cobblestone Square Hi All, I have a new design to share with you... Before I get to the new pattern I want to apologise for the lack of posts lately; my last post was 6 weeks ago! I'm afraid I've been a bit disenchanted with the whole blogging and designing experience... Only I kept seeing it pinned on pinterest, and when I saw a couple of pins with the comment "pattern only in german, but with good pictures" I'm afraid my anger bubbled to the surface and I looked at the blog post again and with the help of google translate deciphered the post to find out if she mentioned the original source at all. A couple of days later after not hearing anything from her I checked her blog again and found that she had removed my comment and, again at the bottom of the page after her sign off, she had replaced "Translation in English here" with - This is the original, on this page I found this flower. Something at least I guess... but I still feel that the original creditation should be within the body of her post. Karen xx
Crochet with Wire & Beads I've had so many requests for the instructions for our last Church of Craft project, I decided to post a little tutorial here. I am by no means an expert, though! You can also find great info here. But let's get started . . . . - One spool of 28 gauge wire, silver or another color. - Assorted beads -- about 40 for a choker, or about 20 for a bracelet. - A metal crochet hook, size G. - Wire cutters and needle-nose pliers. - Findings: jumprings and a clasp of some kind. Step One: String your beads onto the wire, leaving it attached to the spool. Step Two: Make a slip-knot with your wire. Make a loop with the end of your wire. This leaves you with a pretzelly-looking thing, like so. Now, put your crochet hook through that slip knot, and tighten it -- but fairly loosely! Step Three: Chain three. Take the end of your wire that's still attached to the spool, and wrap it over your hook. Then, catch that wrapped bit in your hook, and pull it through the slip knot.
Le fameux Biscoflan (avec ou sans thermomix par Pitchoune) Et oui, le fameux!!! Car il est présent partout ce biscoflan! Il intrigue déjà par le nom, ensuite lorsqu'on commence à lire la recette, on se demande comment c'est possible et ce que ça va donner! Et au final on se dit que ça fonctionne et que c'est surtout très très très bon!

Mettre tous les ingrédients du flan dans le bol: 10 sec - Vit 4. Sans rincer le bol, placer le fouet. Verser délicatement cette pâte sur le flan. Faire cuire 30 mn à 200° au bain marie. Sans thermomix: Dans un saladier ou un robot, mélanger tous les ingrédients du flan. Pour le biscuit, idéalement utilisez un batteur si nous n'avez pas de robot car il faut que le mélange oeuf § sucre soit vraiment mousseux et léger, ajouter la farine et battez encore! Le voici juste à l'emtrée au four:
