Somehow I like this doily with the large holes and I would like to make it, but what should I do with it?

Shell Scrapbook
I love books that don’t look like books ;-)
And this shell book would be great to document holidays at the sea, wouldn’t it?

Design a Beading Pattern
It is difficult enough to design a beading pattern, but to put it in a diagram that others can understand and that looks neat is still another challenge.
Hopefully this instruction will be helpful to you.

How to Tie Your Shoes
When I saw the title of the video I thought just as the speaker did: ‘I’m tying my shoes for dekades, I know how to.’
And just as the speaker I had to realize that I was wrong ;-))
YouKnits Antimacassar / Placemat
An older acquaintance has bought a chair from suede and has forgotten, that the leather will wear down at the arm rests in the course of time.
When she realized this, she asked me to make her brown antimacassars for the arm rests matching the brown chair.
My first thought was: YouKnits!
Because what could be easier (and more appropriate ;-)) than designing a beautiful lace pattern and knitting an antimacassar for the arm rests from? ;-)
Because I haven’t seen the chair myself, but had two different brown yarns (socks wool and crochet thread) I simply made two pairs ;-)
And they were well-received :)
On the photos you see the antimacassars for the arm rests, but they could as well be used as placemats ;-)
(If you click on the photos, you can see larger versions of the photos (in a new window, scroll down there and click on the pictures).)
And that have been the overview pictures that I got from the YouKnits designer:
