…compilation of tutorials
I presented already the beaded freeform wire crochet and the wire hairpin lace bracelet, but here at wire crochet you can find a lot of tips that you can use making the other items.
Just check it out :))

Doesn’t this look most beautiful?
I like the idea to embroider patterns of a Spirograph very much :))
What you can embellish!
And you can embroider by hand or machine, on fabric or paper, single or multi-coloured etc. etc.
Great!

I have the tutorial about using Organza on polymer clay on my list for a long time already – but not yet tried.
After having no time to work with polymer clay for quite a long time now, I don’t want to buy some liquid polymer clay.
Nevertheless…

I surfed the internet a little bit and found a website with lots of most beautiful Bolero and Shrug patterns, as well knitted as well crocheted.
But of course you can make other clothes from the single crochet patterns ;-)
I find best on shrugs that they don’t take so long to make as sweaters and the like ;-))
Although I feel the same constriction about shrug-making as for the crocheted Bolero: first I want to lose some (more) weight.
A fine excuse, isn’t it? ;-))
Addendum: it seems that Jessica Tromp put the pattern somewhere else: 60 bolero-crochet-patterns.
You find the photo under bolero 6a and directly to the right the directions on making the bolero.
The instruction for the medaillon seems to be further up on the same site where the yellow bolero is.
This is the direct link, but it doesn’t work for me.
Happy crochet :)

At the moment we’re jittering from the cold here – what better time to make some most beautiful votives from ice for the balcony or the garden?
When it get’s warm again we will be making jewelry from ice again and at every time we can make a lot of things from the plastic bottles ;-)

Rcently I cable-knitted a little bit, namely a pattern where I not only cable every so often. At some point I was a little unnerved from always have to pick-up-the-cable-needle-cable-knit, especially because my cable needle is very fine and tends to slip out of the picked-up stitches.
The entry about cabling without a cable needle was a real help to me.
It would certainly help to finish my long list of cable patterns that I have already presented ;-)
In the beginning I found it a little difficult but it is always the same: Practice makes perfect.
But I wouldn’t dare to try it in a shaking bus ;-)

I find Origamic Architecture fascinating and presented some time ago already the Origamic Architecture pencil holder, now I found more (although mostly very simple) Origami Architecture patterns which can easily be used for little greeting cards.
I could surf the internet for hours and check – partly really spectacular – Origamic Architecture ;-)

Recently I presented the quick bag from a t-shirt, the pillowcase tote is of the same kind.
If you don’t really like both, I have already presented several other bags, purses and totes, I’m sure that there is something for you ;-)

So, slowly we can give ourselves over to everyday life again – e.g. to a nice cross stitch pattern ;-)
However you can find here other cross stitch patterns, too.
You can busy yourself with them for years ;-))
