Great Books at The Met: Beaded Handbags

I was just checking out the rare books section at The Metropolitan Museum of Art Libraries and found this gem of a book. Check it out. It is free to read online or you can even download your own personal copy. Beautiful!

More beautiful girls - one original design

I finished this beauty from a pattern I found at BraceletBook.com here

This crying girl kiss pattern was also found at BraceletBook.com - here

This red headed beauty was a pattern created by me from artwork found on the net. I make no claims to the ownership of this design. I only converted the image so that I could knot her up.

Below is the chart I created. Please feel free to use it. I would love to see your finished work... especially if you change up the colors etc. Enjoy

Free Chart - Sunset Love

Happy Saturday! Today I am offering another free chart. This is a simple chart that can be used as an alpha pattern for a hand knotted piece (mini tapestry or friendship bracelet), as a cross stitch chart, or any craft that involves the use of a charted pattern. However you use it, please enjoy and have fun!

Free Charts: 1 Design, 3 Variations



Happy Sunday! Today I am offering a new alpha pattern. I have created 3 color variations of the same  design. This pattern will work great for hand knotting floss or yarn bracelets (friendship bracelets) and can also be used for small cross stitch border pattern, or a loom bead pattern.  Enjoy!

Free Patterns For All!

Hi everyone-

I am happy to announce that I will be publishing some of my patterns on this blog. The patterns that I create can be used for a variety of crafts and hobbies. The software I use to create and publish my designs is called StitchSketch Pro.  I will be sharing the charts only. Please right-click to save the patterns you want. You are welcome to use the color schemes I have chosen, or come up with your own. The patterns are free to use and enjoy.

The most wonderful thing about charts (also known as alpha patterns, grids, or graphs - and others) can be used for so many things. You can use them for hand-knotting friendship bracelets patterns, micro macrame, cross-stitch charts, loom beading patterns, pixel art patterns, Perler Bead patterns,  Filet Crochet patterns, Knitting motifs, Tapestry Weaving... and probably more.  

If you are like me you've probably used a cross stitch border to make a hand-knotted bracelet, and vice versa. I have gone so far as to use the charted solutions for Japanese Crossword Puzzles to create hand-knotted creations.

I have a lot of fun creating beautiful works of art and wearable art pieces and am happy to share some of my designs with you. In the future, I will likely release only one design at a time... but for my introductory post, I am sharing a batch of basic designs that are fantastic for beginners. Please enjoy.
