Item# 100

Believe it or not, this little oak leaf is a bit of lace edging. The design features an interesting lace edging construction built around an I-cord stem.

Lacy InterLACEments features a sampling of stitch patterns for both knitted lace and lace knitting. Thus this sampler scarf is a study in both types of interLACEment. Even if you have not attempted true knitted lace before because you thought it was too hard, you can do it now with this attractive sampler scarf that works up quickly on only 35 stitches and large needles.

Here is a beautiful small lace piece in the shape of a leaf of the majestic Oak tree. This project is rated as "mindful knitting", i.e. it will take careful attention as there is little repetitiveness to the rows. But otherwise the knitter familiar with basic lace knitting can expect to have a fun knit with this pattern (and probably will not want to stop at making just one). We've seen these oak leaf medallions used in a variety of ways: small doilies, coasters, tasseled bookmarks, fall holiday decorations and appliqué embellishments. For what will you use yours?

Relieve tensions with a soothing Beaded Stress Ball

Squish and roll this beaded ball around in your hands to provide relaxation and quick relief to stress, aching or stiff finger joints. Tiny pressure points of beads have a meditative quality.

This crescent-shaped shawl begins with a strip of lace edging worked on only 19 to 23 sts with an 8-row repeat. The cabled lace stitch pattern suggests the slightly oblong shape and seeds of the loganberry. The short-rowed body of the shawl is an easy, very lacy one-row stitch pattern that works up in a jiffy.

Fine, fancy lace knitting beadwork transforms into beautiful necklace purse jewelry.

Instructions are also included to knit the same pattern stitches into either of two bookmark styles.
