A little bit of this and a little bit of that

I have neglected my blog for a long time, but have continued to make things.  Here are some things I have made since the last time I blogged:

 A little micro macrame.  from Angel Wings pattern in MacrameSchool's Youtube channel

A little bead embroidery.  from techniques learned in Myra Wood's Craftsy class

A little tatting.  from patterns in Marilee Rockley's Craftsy class

A little beading.  inspired by Kate McKinnon's 'Geometric Beadwork'

And some more beading.  from a pattern in Diane Fitzgerald's 'Shaped Beadwork and Beyond'

Continuing the Adventure: Creative Crochet Lace

My Almost Random Lace Scarf pattern has become very popular since the Crochetville Blog Tour much to my surprise and delight.  In the pattern, I have some suggestions for continuing to explore the possibilities of creating random lace.  

 

 

 

But, I would be remiss if I did not also mention a book by a fellow Raveler, Myra Wood, which takes the technique on to great heights.  Creative Crochet Lace explores filet crochet, doodle lace, Irish crochet, and lace scrumbling from a new and fresh perspective.  The book will take you through the process of creating lace in each of these techniques.  There is also a fabulous gallery of artists' works at the end which is sure to inspire you!

My purpose in this is the same as it was for my creating the Almost Random Lace Scarf pattern, to encourage you to pursue this most relaxing and rewarding method of creating lace.
