I find this crochet placemat and the matching coasters really nice :)
An older acquaintance has bought a chair from suede and has forgotten, that the leather will wear down at the arm rests in the course of time.
When she realized this, she asked me to make her brown antimacassars for the arm rests matching the brown chair.
My first thought was: YouKnits!
Because what could be easier (and more appropriate ;-)) than designing a beautiful lace pattern and knitting an antimacassar for the arm rests from? ;-)
Because I haven’t seen the chair myself, but had two different brown yarns (socks wool and crochet thread) I simply made two pairs ;-)
And they were well-received :)
On the photos you see the antimacassars for the arm rests, but they could as well be used as placemats ;-)
(If you click on the photos, you can see larger versions of the photos (in a new window, scroll down there and click on the pictures).)
And that have been the overview pictures that I got from the YouKnits designer:
It is knit with the following Youknits:
009a-#09 – 009a-#09
021b-#12 – 021b-#12
009a-#09 – 009a-#09
It is knit with the following Youknits:
025a-#15 – 025a-#15
024 – #15 – 024 – #15
025b-#15 – 025b-#15

I’ve seen several placemat bags already, but I really like this one :)

Well, I find these placemats really beautiful :)
Addendum: Hrmpf, the link doesn’t work anymore (thanks, Kalinumba!) and I didn’t find it in webarchive either.
It works in principle like here, but the cutlery has simply been laid down and then the bleach has been sprayed over.

Oh, you’ve knitted enough shawls and scarves already?
No problem, I thought about what else to knit with the YouKnits and that’s what I came up with:
We lace knitters wouldn’t have a YouKnits designer if RIAmore.eu wouldn’t have helped again (as for the other generators).
It is powered by AS3, Robotlegs, AS3 Signals, MinimalComps and AlivePDF and the font was designed by Yusuke Kamiyamane (Ronda Seven).
Thanks to everybody involved!
After the colourful round crochet placemats I didn’t want to withhold you from the colourful round rainbow circle shelf ;-)
I like it :)

At the previously presented no-sew pillow cover the fabric was wrapped around the pillow and knotted in a decorative way.
For this no-sew pillow cover ready-bought placemats are shamelessly glued ;-)

I have read the instructions for the bleached art t-shirts with a lot of interest, I would like to try it one day :)
Some are made similarly to the bleach stencilled placemats.

Knit a beautiful Estonian lace inspired shawl on the 24 days of Advent, every day a little bit.
In case that you don’t need a shawl simply make it a tablerunner :)
The picture just gives you an idea of what you will knit but (hopefully ;-)) don’t spoil the surprise.
(And if you’re curious: there are more pictures ;-))
Note: There is the group unikatissima at ravelry where you can discuss this pattern and my other patterns, too and where you can show us your wip (work in progress).
You can register at ravelry with your username and a valid email address only, with all other information about you it’s up to you whether you give them (at least it was like this when I registered ;-)).
Please bear in mind: the size always depends on your gauge and also on the way you knit – I’m always knitting very loosely.
For the tablerunner (red) I
* knitted 5 repeats with
* about 290 m red cotton crochet thread (100 g ca. 580 m)
(290 m are about 318 yards – 580 m are about 635 yards) with
* 3,5 mm needles (US between 3 and 5) and
* got a tablerunner of about 25 x 130 cm (about 10 x 51 inches).
Depending on my daily energie I knitted a daily pattern section in appr. 25 min.
For every placemat (red) I
* knitted about 140 m red cotton crochet thread (100 g ca. 580 m)
(290 m are about 153 yards – 580 m are about 635 yards) with
* 3,5 mm needles (US between 3 and 5) and
* got placemats of about 27 x 39 cm (about 11 x 15 inches).
I knitted a placemat in appr. 3 hours 25 min.
For the shawl (rose) I
* knitted 5 repeats with
* about 441 m rose acrylic lace yarn (100 g ca. 900 m)
(441 m are about 483 yards – 900 m are about 985 yards) with
* 4 mm needles (US 5-6) and
* got a shawl of about 37 x 124 cm (about 15 x 49 inches).
Depending on my daily energie I knitted a daily pattern section in appr. 40 min.
For the scarf (bordeaux) I
* knitted 2 repeats with
* about 606 m acrylic yarn (200 g ca. 665 m)
(yarn weight similar to sock yarn)
(606 m are about 663 yards – 665 m are about 727 yards) with
* 4 mm needles (US 5-6) and
* got a scarf of about 22 x 165 cm (about 9 x 65 inches).
Depending on my daily energie I knitted a daily pattern section in appr. 20 min.
Note: The scarf was knitted with an early (and not so beautiful ;-)) version of the pattern. The number of stitches/rows is however the same.
