Doesn’t this tatted mask looks great?!
I’ve tried tatting once, but somehow it isn’t really something for me.
What a pity.

I presented some tutorials concerning cords before, if you want to secure their ends, you can learn how to in the tutorial :)

English Google translation of entry
When I let translate the entry the word ‘Bewickelung’ wasn’t translated. It means ‘wrapping’.

I presented an entry about yarn dying before, but I’m a Lace knitter Lace knitter and love selfstriping yarn with looong colour gradients.
Now I can dye my own selfstriping yarn ;-)

Sometime soon spring begins and as far as I’m aware it is nest-building time ;-)
Then it’d be nice to supply the birds with some nest-building material ;-)

If you work with yarns you must sometimes join two ends, e.g. if the yarn broke, the ball is finished or the like.
With some (nature) yarns you can ‘cold felt’ them, with others it doesn’t work.
Recently I learned about the braided yarn join and it seems to work great, many think it’s the best for joining fine yarns.

Joining Yarns
Sometimes you have fine yarn that you want to work multistranded.
You can simply work from both ends of a skein to double it, if you want to triple it though, you simply must have three skeins – but only, if you don’t know how to triple the yarn very easily ;-))
I find this idea of a greeting card with yarn painting wonderful, also, because you can use up your old mesh vegetable bags ;-)
If you really dye your own yarn you have to wind your wool afterwards.
That can take quite some time (I speak from my own experience) and so a self-made ball winder would perhaps be of help ;-)

Dying yarn could be something for the New Year ;-)
Anyway I wish you a good and successful New Year :))
