Item# 104

You'll get all the materials you need to make one "Antique" Satin and Lace Ornament. NOTE: PATTERN NOT INCLUDED. Please purchase downloadable e-Pattern separately.

Supplies pak contains your choice of color for the satin ornament ball, choice of thread, pearl seed beads, and fine gauge pins for attaching your completed lace edging to the ball. I even save you the work of stringing the beads onto the thread. Your pre-strung beads are ready for you to start knitting right away! Sample model pictured is white satin ball with unbleached linen thread.

Sock blockers that are both beautiful and practical! These were designed and handmade exclusively for HeartStrings. They have a unique design that is functional at both ends to accommodate 2 sock foot sizes. Made of non-warping laminated hardwoods, beveled edges, sealed with four hand rubbed coats of polyurethane, and polished to a mirror finish.

These blockers are a work of beauty for display even when not being used to block socks! Sets are available in 3 sizes. Each set comes with 2 sock blockers in the same size.

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?

Bead Skinny Skarf is a play on words, reflecting on the fashion of cinching in a waist to look skinny. Bead Skinny gives the illusion of cinching the curvy lines of the faux eyelet cable with a pretty bead.

A bonus is pleasing reversibility thanks to how the ribbed texture surrounding the lozenges of eyelets and the beads are equally prominent on both the right side and wrong side.

This versatile accessory can be worn pulled down around the neck to lay on the shoulders as a dressy cowl neckline, or pulled up over the head as an elegant head covering.

Begin with a strip of pretty lace edging knit flat. Detailed instructions are included for beginning the strip with a provisional cast on and grafting for an invisible seam. Then pick up stitches and knit circularly in another lace stitch pattern. A decorative bind off completes the smoke ring knitted tube.

Here's a stitch that curves and meanders but still remains true...not unlike affairs of the heart.
