Drawstring Capelet Made With Treble Stitches
Saturday September 6, 2008
I used a long stitch for the rows of this capelet ... the treble stitch. Once you are confident with making treble stitches, the capelet works up fairly fast. There is a drawstring that threads through the top edge, making it easier to get a good fit for a range of sizes.

Crocheted Picot Trio
Saturday September 6, 2008
If you've ever admired the delicate look that crocheted picots give to a crocheted piece and wondered how those are made, here's your chance to learn this deceptively easy technique (picots look like they should be much more difficult to make than they actually are).

Texture Ridges and V-Stitches
Friday September 5, 2008
This scarf is worked in long rows, with ridges for texture and v-stitches that are pulled into a slanted direction (the first paragraph of my directions explain how). I gave three starting chain choices for different lengths, so you can choose your favorite.

Same Bird Chart Used for Filet Crochet and for Cross Stitch
Saturday August 30, 2008
You could work the chart in filet crochet or use this same chart to cross stitch the design in solid color silhouette on a single crochet or afghan stitch background.
The photo on the left shows this design made in a filet crochet technique. The photo on the right shows an example of this charted pattern being worked in cross stitch instead, following the same chart that the filet crochet was worked from.
