Last week I showed you the start of a little piece inspired by an article I read in Quilting Arts Magazine. Some colour had been added at that point........then after lots and lots of stitching, even more colour was applied. I decided it might be fun to incorporate this week's CPP word, #217 "Pen".........so I took out a black Micron pen and doodled on the piece. I have been discussing the idea of a collaborative effort, using crows as subject matter with a friend and fellow quilter, she challenged me to do a "Crow"Flake.....I do love a challenge! this is what it looked like before it was unfolded Linking to Nina-Maries Off the Wall Fridays

Welcome to Week 3 of Not a Christmas Mystery crochet-a-long. I hope you had lots of fun in previous two weeks. Blanket coaster gave some of you hard moments, but you did just great! And again, this CAL is not about making decorations, but also about learning something new. So… tapestry crochet has added to your crochet skills! This week is about overlay crochet. I should say I was eagerly waiting for Friday to share next project with you. I finished it just two days ago (stuffed all motifs and arranged them into a garland). Let me introduce – a Snowflake Garland! My garland consists of 10 stuffed motifs (I made 20 snowflakes), but you can of course make it shorter, or longer. Or even use snowflake motifs as single decorations. Today we will learn how to do overlay crochet. I should say this is not a classical overlay pattern, as we will not cut yarn after every round and weave in ends. For the needs of this CAL I modified instructions a little to make them easy to follow. And, as always, lots of progress pictures are waiting for you. If you follow my work for a while now, you might know that overlay crochet mandalas is something I started my designing life seven years ago. And I keep creating them as making mandalas give me needed sense of peace and safety. And I love watching them growing in my hands. As I continue working in overlay crochet for many years, I add some small tips and tricks to every new project trying to make patterns easier and more straightforward. For one snowflake motif you will need yarn in 4 colors. Main color will use almost entire 10g ball of Catona, and you will need small leftovers in rest three colors (about 2-3g each). For assembling a garland, I used glass beads in different colors – just what I had at hand. The beads are optional, and you can add small pompoms or even tiny and simple crochet baubles. Or simply put only snowflakes on a string and add nothing else. Wondering where to find the pattern? It’s a part of my Not a Christmas CAL hosted on Ravelry right now. Purchase CAL listing HERE on Ravelry and HERE on Etsy with the first three parts, and the last pattern will be automatically added to your Ravelry library after it will be released next Friday. And if you are looking for the same yarn I used, Scheepjes Catona cutie packs as well as individual skeins (in 10g, 25g and 50g) are available in your local Scheepjes shops and via online retailers: Wool Warehouse* and Black Sheep Wools* (both in UK, international shipping) Caro's Atelier* (NL, Europe) Taemombo (US and Canada) See you next week!

Have you noticed the tabs just under my banner? I am working to add new elements to this site, hopefully, to make it easier to find some of my more popular posts. I have several ideas for pages I'd like to place up there.....just need to make the time to get it done. Now, of course, I could not create a post without any photos, so I thought it was time for new papercuts. One of my very first snowflake papercuts, was this one......the design features Dragonflies, Bees and Beetles. I decided to revisit that theme and create these. (really just added an extra beetle and slightly changed some shapes...... This the cut, but still folded paper. fully opened Then I made the same cuts to another folded piece, but this time, cut a little more As you can see, it can make quite a difference to the very same design.
