The Sedge Stitch is a stitch I completely * L * o * V * e * and I wanted to share it with everyone, especially those of you who saw and...

Deze houten tuinkrukken stralen een rustieke charme uit en voegen een uitnodigende sfeer toe aan je terras of balkon. Massief grenenhout: massief grenenhout is een prachtig, natuurlijk materiaal. Grenenhout heeft rechte nerven en de noesten geven het een kenmerkende, rustieke uitstraling. Deze krukken zijn gemaakt van grenenhout, waardoor ze duurzaam zijn en geschikt zijn voor buitengebruik.Praktisch ontwerp: deze tuinkruk heeft geen rugleuning, zodat je comfortabel aan beide kanten van de terraskruk kunt zitten.Extra comfort: de voetensteun van het tuinmeubel creëert extra ruimte om je benen te ontspannen. Goed om te weten:Om de levensduur van je tuinmeubelen te verlengen, raden wij je aan om de meubelen met een waterbestendige hoes af te dekken.

The Sedge Stitch is a stitch I completely * L * o * V * e * and I wanted to share it with everyone, especially those of you who saw and loved my version of The Circus Sweater So before we get this tutorial-party started I will mention a couple of things.... This tutorial is for the *stitch*, not for any finished item (though I've included a selection of pictures of finished sedge-stitched things). I include the instructions for each picture *BELOW* the picture. If you're like me, excessive scrolling will confuse you, so just keep that in mind. You can use *any yarn* and *any hook size* to make *almost anything* that you want. So with no further ramblings, I happily present: *The Sedge Stitch Tutorial* To begin, chain a length in multiples of 3. I chained 36. In the second stitch from the hook, work a single crochet, a half-double crochet, and a double crochet. (Disregard the cat hair on the floor.) Skip two stitches, and in the third stitch work another single crochet, half-double crochet, and double crochet. You repeat this step all the way across. (Be brave!) Now you've reached the end of your row and you have one stitch left. (It's not a mistake!) Single crochet into the last stitch. (YES!) Chain 2 and turn your work! (Onward to our second row!) In the last stitch of the previous row you'll work a double crochet. (See, it's like a half cluster.) Skip two stitches, and in the single crochet of the previous row, work your cluster again: single crochet, half-double crochet, double crochet. Keep repeating that step until you've reached the end of the row. Locate the very last stitch of the previous row. (It's tricky, it kind of hides.) Work a single crochet into the very last stitch. (Row 2 is CoMpLeTeD!) Two rows painlessly completed. Now, chain two and turn. Row 3: Begin! In the first stitch of the previous row work a double crochet. Skip two stitches, and in the third stitch work your cluster: single crochet, half-double crochet, double crochet. Repeat across. (You've probably gotten the gist of this by now. Hang on, one more thing of note left.) Now you're at the end of the row. Notice there's no single crochet in the previous row, but your turning chain and your double crochet. That's exactly how it will be from here out. So... Work your single crochet into the turning chain of the previous row. If you keep going, eventually your stitches will look like this. And this. Easy peasy!! So, In Abbreviated Crochet Terms... To begin, chain a length in multiples of 3. (I chained 36 for this project.) Row 1: In the 2nd ch from the hook work sc, hdc, dc. *Skip 2 st, in 3rd st work sc, hdc, dc * across. In last ch st work sc. Ch 2, turn. Row 2: In sc of prev row, work 1 dc. *Skip 2 st of prev row, work sc, hdc, dc into sc of prev row * repeat across. In last stitch work a sc. Ch 2, turn. Row 3: In first stitch of prev row, work 1 dc. *Skip 2 st of prev row, work sc, hdc, dc into sc of prev row * across. Sc in turning ch of prev row. Ch2, turn. Repeat Row 3. To increase, work additional clusters into beginning or ending stitches. To decrease, skip clusters in beginning or ending stitches. From this tutorial I made a coffee cozy (sah cuuuute!). These itty bitty projects are a great way to practice a new stitch. Just sayin'! And, of course, the Circus Sweater. Enjoy your sedge stitching!!

When I was planning the shop opening a year ago, six large frames of tartan book plates came up for auction and I knew I had to have them. I'm usually able to walk away from something if the price climbs higher than the number I assign to it, but occasionally something like these book plates comes along that I'm willing to be flexible about because I know it's that unique. I don't think I have any Scottish in me, but I've always been drawn to tartans and plaids. With her love of the pattern, Vivienne Westwood can do no wrong in my eyes. And when winter is approaching, a tartan blanket or accent wall of fabric shows that there's beauty in being stuck indoors. Tartan often goes hand-in-hand with one of my favorite styles -- gentleman's club (see previous post) -- in a variety of forms from wallpaper to covered boxes. It casts such a spell that it makes me nostalgic about things that have never featured prominently in my life -- fox hunts and hot toddies and chilly castles on the moors. Images: RevivalSmith.
