A friend at church gave Adam two window frames. Adam will use the one with the large, single pane to make a solar wax melter for his honey bee wax. The other window frame, however, he does not need. So I began thinking of all the fun decorative plans I could construct, involving that six-paned window .... Online, I found a website with a multitude of ideas! This one is fairy-like, but probably a bit over-the-top for my dining room: I love this idea of a window frame in mid-air. But I don't have a porch location for it, unfortunately. Isn't this elegant? Paper was put on the back of the loose window frame, and it was hung in the larger window, for privacy. Beautiful. One can do so much with window frames! This seems a bit challenging for my small-brain creativity, but isn't it lovely? For the quilters out there: Oh, to be a maker of stained glass! This crafter cut chips of colored class with her glass-cutter, and glued them onto the old frame in flower designs. I wish! Now this, I could do. I don't know how long the frame would last outside, in the weather. And Adam would have to make the flower box, of course. Hmm. It's charming. A very simple choice. I could so see this above my fireplace. I don't have a mantle at all, so I could use some more structure up there. This option came from this site. I'm leaning this way, except putting scrap-booking paper under various cards I have. I keep correspondence, especially beautiful cards, and sometimes frame them. I could "frame" six cards, with six different paper patterns, each in its own pane. What do you think? I'd have to dig through old cards too, which is fun. I like this idea, because everytime I'd look at the cards, I'd think of my friends. Okay, friends -- your opinions!! I need help! Even if I don't know you and you are a stranger/lurker here, I could really use some advice! New ideas? Opinions on these? Thanks, y'all :)

This PDF pattern shows how to make a Scandinavian-style lopapeysa, famous in knitting. I wanted to have a lopapeysa sweater, but didn’t have time to knit it. This is how I came to an idea of crocheting a colorful pullover. If you are, like me, in love with the hook and these lovely sweaters, this pattern is for you! Pls, make sure you have enough crochet skills. I suppose it’s upper intermediate level, surely not for beginners. The sweater has a top-to-down construction, crocheted IN ROUNDS with NO SEAMS, as a one-piece. So, what you get on almost 40 pages? Both versions (US Standard terms and British terms) include: 1) Sizes and measurements 2) Yarn and gauge recommendations 3) Main instructions (line-by-line for the yoke with a graph and a photo for each row) 4) Care and making tips 5) Important tips to help you make the best fitting sweater 6) Lots of photos and options for cuffs and necks. Surely you can adjust the pattern to any size you need (from a child version to a men’s) following the constructions principle. MATERIALS needed: 1) Total yarn weight needed is 480-500 g (for small size) and 580-650 (for medium size). Also, color C can be excluded from the list, bicolor versions also look great. 2) Hook size 2-3 mm depending on your individual gauge. 3) 4 stitch markers. 4) Tailoring tape to measure yourself and the item while working on the pattern. Please, feel free to ask questions!

This could be an elderly gent who loves to work on the "curb appeal" of his home. I mean, nest. And this would be his neighbor down the street who loves lots of color in her garden. Hmm... I wonder... (Do you wonder the same thing as me?)
Do you like mosaic crochet as much as I do? I hope you do because I have something exciting to share with you today. My mosaic adventures started back in 2017 with Nya blanket, and since then I was coming back to this simple yet effective technique. And today I am happy to introduce my new design – a Vilia Sweater. DISCLOSURE: Photography by @ell_photographer_, photo edit by @vitali_frozen Mosaic crochet has become hugely popular over the last few years. And today it has two main directions: overlay and inset. Overlay mosaic projects are worked on the right side only in back loops, and long stitches are added on top of the background. And inset crochet uses chains, so mosaic stitches are kind of incorporated into the background for the feel of one layer. And chains add extra air and lightness to the crochet fabric. The Vilia Sweater pattern is available on Ravelry HERE and Etsy HERE with a 25% off through Monday, May 31st, 2021. The price is discounted already, and no codes are needed. The pattern is written in English with US crochet terms, and it contains row-by-row written instructions, mosaic chart and photo-tutorial. Vilia Sweater uses inset mosaic technique, which I believe works best for the summer garments. Made with fine cotton blend fingering yarn (Scheepjes Whirlette in my case), it is super light and drapey. The sweater is designed to fit with 2-4 in (5-10 cm) of positive ease at the bust and 1 ½ - 2 in (4-5 cm) of positive ease at the upper arm. It has a boxy fit for the body with slim sleeves, however both the body’s and sleeves’ width are easily adjustable, as the sweater is worked seamlessly from top down. First some short rows are worked back and forth to raise the back neck. Then the yoke with mosaic pattern on the front is worked in rounds to the separation point for body and sleeves. The lower body is worked in rounds to the bottom. Sleeves are worked top down to the cuffs. The length of the body and sleeves (designed as ¾ but can be worked as sleeveless) is easily adjustable. The mosaic pattern on front continues growing through the lower body towards back, creating an exclusive shape. And – yay – it is possible to choose from the two options of the mosaic stitch pattern: Diamonds or Zigzags! Or you can combine both if you wish. Vilia Sweater comes in eight sizes: XS (S, M, L, XL, 2X, 3X, 4X) To fit actual bust: 86.4 (91.4, 96.5, 101.6, 106.7, 111.8, 116.8, 123) cm/ 34 (36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48) in Finished bust: 93 (97, 105, 109, 117, 123, 127, 133) cm/ 36 ½ (38 ¼, 41 ¼, 43, 46, 48 ½, 50, 52 ¼) in. Fine fingering yarn is recommended for this project. I used Scheepjes Whirlette for all my three samples. It is a cotton blend, and it comes in many tasteful colors. To complete the sweater, you will need: Yarn A (sleeveless version): 2 (2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4) cakes Yarn A (¾ sleeves version): 3 (3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4) cakes Yarn B (mosaic): 1 (1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2) cakes Please, note that you might need more yarn depending on your crochet style, or if you choose to make your sweater longer and wider. You can have a look at all Whirlette colors and order yarn in your local Scheepjes shop, or via online retailers: Wool Warehouse* and Black Sheep Wools* (both in UK, international shipping), Caro’s Atelier* (NL and Europe), Taemombo (US and Canada), Yarn Addicted (US). And here I would like to add, that gauge is extremely important for this project. Both for the width and for the height. If your gauge is off, the yoke will not grow proportionally as needed, and the fit will be different. I have made three samples in different color combinations and with different length of the sleeves. This brownish sweater was made with shades 893 Baklava for main color and 881 Yummy for mosaic (Zigzag, ¾ sleeves). Another sample was made with 874 Pomegranate for main color and 889 Sage for mosaic (Diamonds, short sleeves, and I am modelling it with a jean oversized shirt). And the last sample was actually the first I made. It uses Woolly Whirlette in shade 573 Bubble Gum for the main color, and the leftovers from a Whirl in shade 755 Blueberry Bambam (Diamonds, short sleeves). But I don’t recommend choosing big Whirl cakes for this project, as lots of yarn will be left. And here is a gallery of masterpieces finished by our wonderful testers team: Laura Jackson, Lisa Marlow, Esther Schippers, Elizabeth Kalka, Ruth Bracey, Taylor O'Shea, Sandra Veneman and Macarena Marskell. The Vilia Sweater pattern is available on Ravelry HERE and Etsy HERE with a 25% off through Monday, May 31st, 2021. The price is discounted already, and no codes are needed.

Time to cosy up with our twist on a traditional patchwork design.

This pair of lilies may be high-maintenance, but they’re as versatile as they come. Turn them left, ride or upside down and they always wind up looking great. PROs: Handmade mosaic design composed of high-end natural marble tiles that is guaranteed to elevate your space. Mosaicist: Haith D. CONs: Eventually, you have to pick an orientation for them. They’re not so easy-going after installation.
Islamic architecture has its own unique charm, and if you dig deep down, you will find it has a lot to do with geometric Islamic patterns.
Ambigrams are a really clever form of word art or logo design where the graphic is perfectly legible when viewed both ways up. Not only do these symmetrical designs have the novelty of looking the same when rotated, they produce versatile logos that still work even when viewed upside down, which is an important consideration […]
Mosaic crochet is such a beautiful crochet technique, but it's also one that not that many have tried. My guess it's because it looks far more complex than it actually is.
