Agapanthus - From the Heart Design Sheet - curvy scallops

From the heart design sheet


What you will need to make this card



This card has been made by Gwyneth George

This is how Gwyneth made it


I printed the design onto Super Smooth white card and cut out the pieces. I took a white square card and stuck the scalloped paper ribbon down directly on the fold side before trimming off the excess. I stuck the base layer of the image directly to the card near the top right. I then stuck a blank greetings panel towards the bottom left using 1mm deep double sided foam tape and used the same tape to build up the central scallped pyramid. I finished off the card with several sizes of the same coloured faux gems. A lovely image that would be great for Mother's Day, Get Well or a Birthday card.

Great how to instructions for this card from Diane

I mounted onto a card with an embossed border that is in 2 parts and added the strip in the centre of the 2 parts. I added the pyramid layers using sticky pads and added my chosen sentiment to the border. I finished off with silver elasticated lilac bead trim to the spine. I just love the scalloped pyramid, it is unusual and I would love to see more in this style. This is such a pretty design

Free Knitting Pattern Lace Ruffle Scarf

Go on... give it a go

 
 
You will need:
 
Vanna's Glamour (1)Size 6 and 17*
You will need three size 17needles.
If you only have two, then a smaller needle will do. 
I used a size 15 Stitch holder (if you are worried about the first half of your scarf slipping off the needle while working on the second half)
With Size 6 needle, cast on 80 stitches
Row 1: Knit
Row 2: Purl
Row 3: Knit
Row 4: Purl
Row 5: Knit
Row 6: Purl
Row 7: K2tog across row - 40 sts
Row 8: P2tog across row - 20 sts
 
Change to Size 17 needles on the next rowRow 9: K1 *YO, K2tog* Repeat from * to last 
stitch, K1 - Repeat this row until first half of scarf is appx. 22 inches. 
Cut yarn.
If you have another Size 17, grab it and start casting on for the second half.
If you do not have a third size 17 needle, go ahead and just transfer the first half to the
needle you plan to use for binding off. Or, if you are afraid the scarf will slide off the needle, 
place thee
scarf onto a stitch holder for more security.
Transfer the first half to the needle when ready to bind off.
 
Repeat above instructions until second piece measures appx 22inches. Join the two halves with 3 needle bind off. Weave in loose ends and go wear your new scarf!
 
Yes, I was a little nutty for doing it this way, as getting a stitch that was formed on a Size 6 
needle onto a Size 17 needle is ratherdifficult. But I wanted a nice, firm ruffle, and I liked 
how it lookedgoing directly into the larger mesh of the scarf as opposed topicking up and 
adding the ruffle after the fact. To help transfer thestitches, I slipped a few at a time as I 
went onto the larger needle tostretch them a little, then back to the smaller needles and 
then knitting them onto the 17s was much easier. You could add theruffle after the fact 
if you do not even want to attempt getting theruffle stitches into the Size 17 needles.
I have also added a video on knitting this scarf to my YouTubeChannel.
 
If you have problems with the pattern, feel free to send me an emailatsapphiresnpurls@gmail.com

Stunning Fingerless Gloves Pattern

sourwoodBEAUTY
The return of Spring and warmer weather often leads people to rush outside at their first chance. Festivals, concerts, and other outdoor gatherings begin popping up. While this is certainly a beautiful time to celebrate, it can still be chilly. As a performing musician Spring heralds the beginning of the busy season and sometimes hours of strumming and fiddling away while exposed to the elements. These gloves are inspired by the many performances I have spent wishing I had a little something for my hands. They are thin enough to allow movement, but just warm enough to help fend off that nip lingering in the air.
Sourwood Mountain is a traditional old-time American dance tune. Exact geographic origin is unknown, however, it usually appears in collections of southern mountain songs. Variations of this tune were collected by folklorists dating to the early 1900s spanning across North Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, and Missouri.
All three sizes of this glove may be completed with two skeins of yarn. However, if you extend the pattern, or wish to keep your gauge swatch, you will need a third skein for the largest size. The leaf pattern on the hand is worked across one needle for ease of keeping your place. If you find that the purls at the beginning and end this needle are showing ladders, try purling through the back loops of these stitches to pull them in.
