Actually it’s rather easy to make this necklace: you crochet with big beads und wrap afterwards interesting yarns around.
If you like you can add some extra fringes.
I like the necklace very much indeed :)

Mokume Gane Flower
I love pink and orange, find polymer clay Mokume Gane amazing and like big florets: you can surely imagine how I find the instruction for pink orange polymer clay Mokume Gane florets ;-))

Paper Leaves Wreath
I don’t really like door wreaths, but even though I won’t make it and hang it on my door I find the paper leaves wreath somehow beautiful :)
It was made originally for Christmas, but I think that it could as well be a spring or summer wreath with green paper or an autumn wreath with paper in brown, red and yellow.
And with papers like those for the place mat it looks presumably great the whole year long :))

Paint Brushes Vase
Well, such a I-still-have-lots-of-brushes-from-my-last-painting-experiments-vase doesn’t look bad, does it?
Would it work with thread rests, too? ;-))

Random Knitting Chart Generator
As said before I looked recently for pattern generators and found also the random knitting chart generator.
I find this idea so great, somewhen I must knit this pattern ;-)
For the lace pattern on the picture I checked knit, purl, knit two together and yarn over, I didn’t check mirrored.
By the way I learned about this through the Ravelry group ‘Random Pattern Generators’, they found my generators also great ;-))

Leaf Silhouette Portraits
Wow, don’t you think?
I don’t think that I’d the patience to make leaf silhouette portraits ;-))
I’d prefer to display them sorted by colour ;-))

CDSea
A good friend sent me the link to the entry about ‘CDSea’ (thanks, Brigitte!) and I found it great!
That may give you an idea about what to do with old CD’s ;-))

Kumihimo Pattern Planner
Recently I looked again for pattern generators, after all I made some myself (see links below ;-)) and I want to know what great ideas other people have ;-)
One of these great ideas ist the Kumihimo pattern planner.
You can get with it the initial position of the threads for a simple 8-braid for a given pattern.
They didn’t explain what a ‘simple 8-braid’ is but I think that it is the same as in my Kumihimo entry, I didn’t have the time to check this, yet.

Frufru
Well, doesn’t the ruffle pillow look merry?
I got a nice email (thanks, Barbara!) with a link to the article on the subject of ‘Frufru’ and she asked me whether I have heard about this.
Never!
My search for instructions actually provided only a video that seems to be an ad for the sewing machines where you can see how this is done.
But I don’t have the slightest idea whether this can be done with ‘normal’ sewing machines, too (mine at least can not ;-)).
