Gift pattern of my tiny Adventurous Kitty. Ideal for inserting in keyfobs, phone cases and cards.
This little Adventurous Kitty design is aimed at the confident beginner and beyond. Two Kitties are provided already filled with Bedfordshire Lace and Honeycombe ground. The Kitty Template is left empty for you to put in your own fillings. Use a picot edge for a fluffier Kitty, add colours, add sequins, add a new ground, be adventurous! Prints out at A4.
Fresh off the pillow, my own Celtic Knot cross with Cluny halo design. I am relieved to leave the crossing over of trails for a while and now turn to something less fiddley to do.
Created by lace making over one of my own drawings, l thought the knot section at the ends of the arms would be simply a case of lifting one raft of bobbins over the other but this was not the case. I had to introduce a short length of matching trail, sew in and tie off to create each end knot .
The green leaf tallies are made in a continuous length. They are plaited behind the trails and not seen when the piece is turned over. l didn't know until l took it off the pillow if this would work, or if the green plait would show through. Fortunately, l think l got away with it.
Digging through my old designs, I found this experimental logarithmic Torchon lace pattern.
I made a few of these using the basic pricking with different stitches drawn on by hand.
Seems a shame to leave it languishing in the dark so here I present another little gift for those who like to play about with a pattern.
It takes 18 pairs, you can add in gimp threads, or some extra passive threads at the edges.
