Beaded Bracelet in Bobbin Lace

My new Beaded Bracelet pattern introduces a few new techniques which are also shown as videos on my YouTube channel.  The beaded bracelet pattern can be altered to create matching earrings, pendant and necklace.  To make it you need 10 pairs of bobbins, small beads, and a full rainbow of coloured threads.

The pattern is printed as an extra long bracelet, it can be tailored to fit by cutting the pattern in half in the middle and lining up the beads to shorten as much as you wish.  To lengthen it, simply print two copies, and insert an extra length in the middle.

If using thinner threads than recommended, add more passive pairs, if using a thicker thread, use fewer passive pairs.  Keep the worker pair around the 22-30 wpc size. 

This pattern prints out at A4 size.

Tally Star Muaiga lace

Teeny owls checking out the new Christmas Star fresh of my pillow.   I used a few new techniques and enjoyed the challenge of figuring out all those crossing trails.  Not really a single lace style because l had to mix parts up to get the result l wanted so again, it's a "Muaiga"  (made up as l go along) piece of lace rather than pure Bedfordshire or Cluny.   

70 pairs approximately used for this one, l do enjoy having a pillow full of white wound Parsons bobbins to work with.   

 

Moving pictures!

Moving pictures, how very modern!   I have had a go at making some youtube videos to help with making my seahorse and, hopefully, other beginner patterns.

Play with a fishy template

Continuing with the aquarium theme, l drew an ellipse shape to make into fishes.  Threw in seed beads, chevron braids, sequins and a variety of stitches to create these four fish.
