Pic.1: www.ebay.com/itm/100-2-inch-Fabric-Yo-Yo-in-Shades-of-Civil-War-Museum-reproduction-fabrics-/281858097454 A yo-yo, called also a Suffolk puff, is a small simple project in manipulating fabric. It is extremely easy to make: it can be created out of fabric leftovers, doesn't require more tools than scissors, a sewing needle and a thread. Yo-yos come out great made of medium Muslin or cotton, but if you are tempted to try more difficult materials, like silk, velvet... go for it! Any thread which doesn't snap easily will do. How to make a yo-yo? It only takes minutes... Pic.2, from: Colette Wolff, The Art of Manipulating Fabric, p.23 Cut a circle out of fabric. It has to be twice as large as the intended form a) turning the edge of circle inside, tack with even stitches. Remember: large stitches make small center opening; small stitches make it larger, b) gather tightly and flatten. What can we do with yo-yos? 1. VARIOUS ACCESSORIES Shawls, scarves...

**This tutorial is intended for personal use only.** A couple of you have asked for a tutorial on how to fold a fabric hexagon yo-yo. Here goes.... Begin with a fabric circle. Keep in mind that the finished hexagon will be approximately one-half of the size of the circle so you will need to gauge it according to your project. Fold the circle in half. With an iron, press a crease into the center of the fold. Open the circle, make a quarter turn, fold in half, press a crease into the center of the fold. You should now have 4 equal quadrants. This photo shows the center creases that have been highlighted with a pen for easier viewing. (You will be using only the creases as your guide). Fold the outside edge of the circle to the center, press the fold with an iron. Bring 1st point to the center, press the fold, pin in place. Bring the 2nd and 3rd points to the center, pressing and pinning in place. Bring the 4th point to the center, press, pin in place. Take remaining point(should look like a long triangle), bring to center, press but do not pin in place yet. Open the left side of the long triangle. Fold 5th point to center, press, pin in place. This is what it should look like after the 5th fold is in place. Take something flat like a bone folder or a letter opener and use it to ease the flap under, forming the 6th fold. You could stop at this point, hand tack the points in place, and add a decorative button to finish it off or you could move on to the next step... HOW TO ATTACH THE HEXAGON TO ANOTHER PIECE OF FABRIC WITH HIDDEN STITCHING Unfold the hexagon to expose the creases. Please note that I have traced the center hexagon creases with a pen so that it can be easily seen by the camera but you will be using just the creased lines as your sewing guide. Place the circle onto the fabric surface that you want to attach the hexagon to. With needle and thread, take small running stitches just inside the creases. Refold the hexagon using the previously made creases as your guide. It should fall into place with little effort. With needle and thread, tack down all 6 points. Sew on a decorative button and you're all done. Voila! Fini! Meet my newest pincushion! I bet you had no idea what I was making, now did you? LOL Have fun with the tutorial and hexa-yo-yo the night away(that sounds like the latest latin dance move or something)! Aloha! **This tutorial is intended for personal use only.**

Back in January 2009 I took sharonB's class "Encrusted Crazy Quilting". The block was nearly done, apart from one area. Now I finally finished it: added something here and there and worked this button cluster part: Und wieder ist ein UFO fertig ... Im Januar 2009 hatte ich sharonB's Online-Kurs "Encrusted Crazy Quilting" belegt. Der Block war bis auf einen kleinen Teil fertig. Nun habe ich endlich auch den letzten Teil gearbeitet - dieses Knopf-Cluster - und hier und da ein wenig hinzugefügt: Here are a few more details: Noch ein paar Details:
Hello dear Amigurumi FollowersToday we share Amigurumi Yo-Yo Doll Free Pattern for you. As you know we share n
True Blue Shawlette On most occasions, I try to keep my knitting fairly seasonal (or representative of the months to come). I'm sure that's why I bought this yarn and started this shawlette months ago, only to get hung up by my uncooperative forearms. Now that I've finally finished the piece, though, we should all just pretend it's summer again, and that the cold breeze I felt this afternoon was actually as balmy as July's winds. Or not, in which case you can file this pattern away for next year, when you've got 300+ yards of a cotton-, silk-, linen-, or bamboo-based fiber and a hankering for a short shawl (or even a big one, if you want to keep working and you've got enough yarn!). Yarn: Lana Grossa 365 Cotone (88% Cotton, 12% Polyamide; 153 yards [150 meters]/50 grams); #026 Türkisgrün - two skeins A better look at the pattern. Basically, just lace and garter stitch! Needles: One 32" or longer circular needle in size US 7 Notions: Tapestry needle Gauge: 20 stitches = 4 inches in stockinette So let's make a little shawl thing! And in case I wasn't clear enough before, this pattern is good for those occasions when you're not sure if you've got enough yarn or not; since it's designed from the rounded bottom up, it's completely scalable in size - make it small if you've only got 300 yards, or bigger with more. No matter how much yarn you've got, however, you'll begin by casting on 3 stitches loosely, and then working 8 rows in garter stitch to create a tab of sorts. Then, without turning work, yarn over (yo) twice, pick up 1 stitch about 1/3rd of the way down along the edge of the tab, (yo) twice again, pick up 1 stitch roughly 2/3rds of the way down the edge of the tab, and (yo) twice again. Complete tab by picking up 3 stitches along cast-on edge; you should now have stitches coming from 3 sides of the tab - 3 along original working edge - 8 along the side (counting each double yo as 2 stitches), and 3 along the cast-on edge. Then, work a few set-up rows as follows: Set-up Row 1 (wrong side): k3, purl until 3 stitches left in row, working a (k1, p1) in each double yo, k3 Set-up Row 2: k3, (yo) twice, knit until 3 stitches left, (yo) twice, k3 (+4 stitches) Knit set-up rows 1 & 2 once and then knit set-up row 1 again. You should now have 18 stitches on your needle and be prepared to start a right side row. Now, we'll begin our main pattern, which is a variation on Totem Pole from page 254 of Barbara G. Walker's A Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns, and goes as follows: Row 1: k3, (yo) twice, * p1, k2, k2tog, yo, k2, yo, ssk, k2, p1; rep from * until you have 3 stitches left in row; end (yo) twice, k3 Row 2 and all wrong side rows: k3, purl until 3 stitches left in row, working a (k1, p1) in each double yo, k3 Row 3: k3, (yo) twice, k1, p1, * p1, k1, k2tog, yo, k4, yo, ssk, k1, p1; rep from * until you have 5 stitches left in row; end p1, k1, (yo) twice, k3 Row 5: k3, (yo) twice, k3, p1, * p1, k2tog, yo, k2, p2, k2, yo, ssk, p1; rep from * until you have 7 stitches left in row; end p1, k3, (yo) twice, k3 Row 7: k3, (yo) twice, k1, yo, ssk, k2, p1, * p1, k2, k2tog, yo, k2, yo, ssk, k2, p1; rep from * until you have 9 stitches left in row; end p1, k2, k2tog, yo, k1, (yo) twice, k3 Row 9: k3, (yo) twice, k4, yo, ssk, k1, p1, * p1, k1, k2tog, yo, k4, yo, ssk, k1, p1; rep from * until you have 11 stitches left in row; end p1, k1, k2tog, yo, k4, (yo) twice, k3 Row 11: k3, (yo) twice, k3, p2, k2, yo, ssk, p1, * p1, k2tog, yo, k2, p2, k2, yo, ssk, p1; rep from * until you have 13 stitches left in row; end p1, k2tog, yo, k2, p2, k3, (yo) twice, k3 Knit rows 1 - 12 until piece measures at least 48" along needle (yes, I know that's difficult to measure since your needle will probably be shorter! You'll probably have to use gauge or your best guess, but you probably won't want it shorter than that. Longer, of course, is fine) and you've just finished row 6 or row 12 of the pattern. Then work edging rows as follows: Edging Row 1 (right side): k3, (yo) twice, knit until 3 stitches left, (yo) twice, k3 Edging Row 2: knit, working a (k1, p1) in each double yo Edging Row 3: knit Edging Row 4: knit Complete edging rows 1 - 4 and bind off loosely. To finish off, tuck in ends and block!

The Winter Lace stitch is an allover lace pattern. It is worked over a multiple of 12 stitches plus 1. This means to work it in large areas you would cast on multiples of 12 (12, 24, 36, etc.)
