…compilation of tutorials
I recently published an entry to the subject of: What c.a.n we do with lace (doilies)?, I like the idea to make a winter table runner also very much :)

Let the rain come with such an umbrella;-)
For the crochet parasol there should better be sunshine ;-))

I like to knit and crochet lace, but what to do with it?
Now I found some inspiration.
I like very much the fabric prints with the little crochet doilies :)

Recently I learned something new, that works wonderfully for me: the Magic Loop.
I already knitted sleeves and a round doily with it – I’m so delighted :)

What about such a hub cap?
It surely attracts attention!
You only have to ‘blow up’ a crochet doily ;-))

If you knit lace, e.g. for the Crazy Lace Cardigan or all sorts of other things, you should always knit swatches.
And what to do with them later on? (For me this is the reason why I don’t make swatches, often to my own disadvantage ;-)).
Anyway, I’ve found something now: you can ‘simply’ make knitted lace notecards with them ;-)
I presented a site with lots of knitting (lace) patterns before, so that you can start directly ;-)
And if knitting isn’t your cup of tea, it works of course with crochet, too, as you can see e.g. with my cro-tat card for Mother’s Day.

By her own account the pattern for the knitted lace notecard on the photo is Grün ist die Hoffnung which is available as free ravelry download.
There you can read the following: “Grün ist die Hoffnung was designed for the Socken-Kreativ-Liste, a German yahoo-KAL with 2000 members.
It is available in English and in German.
You can find the English version in my raverlry store for free. Please contact me for the German version.
For more information, see: http://de.groups.yahoo.com/group/Socken-Kreativ-List…“

I’m planning for a certain time to try crocheted Bruges Lace but found it always a little old fashioned – until I saw amongst others the photos.
Oddly enough I don’t find them old fashioned at all ;-)
I then researched a little further and found a most beautiful little cap and a very impressive opera coat.
Well, we will see.
And if it doesn’t work I will make a scarf from ;-))

Tea Dyed Doily Scarf
Well, the scarf yesterday wasn’t bad at all (just as all the scarves before ;-)), but this waving scarf is also special, isn’t it?
On the list with it ;-))

One thing that I wanted to try for a long time already is Delta crochet: it looks very easy and I like the result ;-)
But I guess anyhow that this is one of the techniques where I get bored much too fast – it’s always the same.
Well, it’s a pity ;-)

“When I’m grown-up, I’m gonna be a cardigan.”
;-))
Recently I had a talk about cardigans that are knitted or crocheted more or less as a big, round ‘rug’ and then simply worn.
Hard to imagine, isn’t it? ;-)
I had promised to present here tutorials for such things and I suggest that you check out one or two links, then you will know what I’m talking about ;-)
By the way I’m sure that these aren’t all, if you know more, I’d be glad if you’d put a reference into the comments.
