Item# 52

Knit an heirloom lace handkerchief. Kit includes pattern, quality thread for knitting the edging, and an Irish linen hemstitched handkerchief to which to attach your lace edging.

To complete the Lace-edged Handkerchief, you will also need a few yards of waste thread in a contrast color and similar weight to crochet cotton size 30, knitting needles US 00 / 1.75 mm, steel crochet hook size US 6 / 1.75 mm, and size 24 tapestry needle.

Delight yourself with the color and texture of Flames of Fall. Beads and flames of lace endue a soft glow of warmth in this pleasingly reversible stole.

You get a printed pattern for the No Two Alike Snowflakes Hat and Mittens set + yarn to make the hat or mittens or both. Child small thru Adult XL. Yarn choices have been coordinated to be similar to the original pair of child's mittens and hat set featured in 1998 in the Blue Room of the U.S. White House. White mohair/wool blend to look like the halo of snow (1 to 3 balls depending on kit selection). Machine-washable smooth wool in the 4 colors, 1 ball each color.

Sparkly beads glisten like raindrops, greeting the awakening of Spring's first leaves.

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

A snuggly lap blanket or afghan is a comfort to knit and give to loved ones. Here is a design for a handsome small blanket in a "warm hearts" theme appropriate for anyone. A bonus is that the stitch pattern is different yet pleasing on both sides — it's like getting two blankets for the effort of making one!
