Meubelstoffen online Free patterns for reversible-cable scarves | In Stitches Yesterday, I started looking for patterns for scarves with reversible cables because I wanted to see how different designers handle the math. I’ve discovered that most people are designing them to look almost identical on both sides. One way is to rib the cables (k1, p1,k1, p2, k1, p1,k1 and cable every eight rows would be an example). Another way is to do put ribs between the cables that are equal width, and then cable the ribs. I’ve put together a list of URLs where you can find other bloggers who have posted free patterns for their reversible cable scarves.

11 Easy And Cute DIY Choker Necklace Tutorials In case you haven’t noticed, chokers are back in style in a big way – and no, this isn’t an old post from 1997. Chokers, AKA necklaces that sit snugly around your neck rather than resting against your collar bones or cleavage, are edgy, cool, and make a pretty big statement. Chokers were huge in the ’90s and early 2000s – think the wiry tattoo style or black velvet versions with a little charm – but like so many other ~classy~ accessories from that time, they fell off our radar for a while.

How To: Make Typographic Gift Wrap » Man Made DIY | Crafts for Men « Keywords: gift, christmas, wrapping, gift-wrap This year, I vowed to only make or buy handmade holiday gifts for my friends and family, and I’ve kept to it so far. But wrapping these gifts in commercial paper didn’t seem to make much sense, so I wanted to create some handmade gift wrap to match. I happen to think a gift wrapped in newsprint is actually quite attractive, and love the look of text on a package, but wanted to put in a little more effort. Once I figured it out, it was actually quite easy and quick – less than ten minutes per gift. Here’s how to do it: Materials and Tools Brown craft paper or solid wrapping paperA used bookUtility knifePencilScissorsAlphabet templates, available in four typefaces at ManMadeDIY.com/downloads Tracing set-up, such as light source and clear glass or plastic (see below)Glue stick 1. 2. 3. 4a. 4b. 5. 6.

Luck of the Green Beer St. Patty’s Day Cold Process Soaps | Cold Process Soap Recipes Gather your ingredients: 2 Cups of Light Beer (we used Coors Light) 14 small plastic cups (5 fl. oz. each) Plastic Cups (5 fl. oz.) If you have never made cold process soap before, we strongly suggest getting a couple of basic recipes under your belt before diving in…working with beer is an advanced technique. PREP: The first step to a successful beer batch (in our opinion) is boiling flat beer. ONE: Melt and measure the Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, Palm Oil, and Shea Oil. TWO: SAFETY UP! Then, measure out your lye (by weight) and beer (by volume) and slowly add the lye to the beer in 3 batches (pour a little lye and stir – repeat 2 more times). THREE: Slowly and carefully, add the lye mixture to the combined oils pouring down the side of the stick blender to avoid bubbles. FOUR: Separate the batch in half. Titanium Dioxide Slurry: Mix 1 teaspoon of Titanium Dioxide with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and mix with a mini mixer. SEVEN: Time to check on the “foam”.

The Thumb Trick: Sometimes called an afterthought thumb, I first read about it in Elizabeth Zimmermann's Knitter's Almanac. I really like this method because it's seamless; sometimes when patterns have you place stitches on a holder and then cast on the top stitches you can get an odd seam right in the crease where your thumb meets the hand, and that can be uncomfortable. The only trouble that some people may have with this method is that you cannot immediately try on your mitten in progress, as you can with mittens where the stitches are put on holders. The trick: Knit to where you want to place the thumb hole, and take a length of contrasting yarn, and knit the thumbhole stitches with it instead of your working yarn: (see the working yarn, still on the right-hand side of the work?) Then, slip all these stitches back onto your left hand needle purl wise: And knit across them, with your working yarn: Here are the held stitches after a few rows have been worked: (Fetching uses a ribbed pattern. Ta da!
