Celtic Knot - peyoted beaded bracelet pattern

 

This bracelet is just off from my beading board. I used Miyuki Delica beads. The mix of DB0266 and DB0267 in blue color adds a little texture. 

I like the toggle and loop clasp. It's easy to make and not need to search for suitable findings. 

It's a casual bracelet for everyday wearing, gifted to my daughter. It was her color choice. 

And these folded leaf earrings also went to my daughter. It's great when there are people who love handmade. 

Make your own bracelet, the pattern is available here - Celtic Knot.

folded leaf seed bead earrings

 

I like these folded earrings because they are simple and look awesome. Especially I like the color choice - denim blue and watermelon.  

I attached them to sterling silver lever back earwires. They are so lightweight! 

Thought I need to make new in more colors. 

 

bead crochet necklace - blue snake

Long time I didn't crochet with beads. One day I scrolled Instagram and saw beautiful necklaces and bracelets in bead crochet technique. That what I want to do next! 

 

This pretty necklace is made of the pattern "Blue Snake" by talented artist Sofia Vasileva, which I bought in her Etsy shop. I like how it turned out. I used czech seed beads instead delica. There are colors like deep blue, metallic gold and silver, brass, crystal clear with light blue inside.

 

The necklace is 20.5" (52 cm) long and about 1/3" (9 mm) thick. The photo is not so good, how beautiful the necklace is in real life. I'm really happy with it. 

How it looked in the start on the next picture - crochet hook size 12/6 and bead thread size B.  

Thank you Sofia for your inspiration! I'm ready to crochet a new necklace and bracelet :)

simple knitted blanket

And now I've finished the knitting cable blanket. It is in natural white color and about 160x120 cm (60x45 inches). I like it so much, use it when watching TV with my favorite cup of green tea. This blanket is good to cover and feel comfortable. 

Look at these cables: it's really easy to knit!

Of course, the cat believes that this blanket is knitted for him 😸

"I really love this pattern. I bought it because it looks exactly like a friend of ours - though I revised it to have red glasses because that's what he wears. So much fun - the pattern is a HUGE hit with everyone who knows him. I would say it doesn't really work as a bracelet, or you lose the effect of the pattern - so I'm probably going to sew it on to my jean jacket."

This peyote bracelet pattern is available only on Etsy here.

knitting blanket

It was my son's birthday. I've planned to inflate a lot of colorful balloons, bake a cake and make a party. Instead, I had appendicitis and I was taken to a hospital. We made the party later, but for now, I knit a blanket in the company of my cat.

how to knit simple cable blanket

I needed the blanket about 160x120 cm (60x45 inches). The knitting cable is actually easier than any lace pattern. 

For this project, I bought the pink yarn Steinbach Wolle (20% wool, 80% acrylic) and used knitting needles 4 mm (US 6). 

This pattern is a multiple of 16 and plus an additional 20 for the border. For my blanket, I cast on 180 stitches (160+20).

Border Rows 1-12: Seed Stitch (K1, P1)

Now start with the pattern (view the picture): 

Rows 1, 3, 5, 7:
Seed Stitch for 8 stitches (K1, P1), place marker for the border. *K4, P2, K8, P2* till last 12 stitches, K4. Place marker for the border and Seed Stitch to end. 

Row 2 and all even rows:
8 sts Seed Stitch, *P4, K2, P8, K2* till last 12 sts, P4, Seed Stitch to end.

Row 9: 8 sts Seed Stitch, *K4, P2, slip 4 sts on cable needle and hold in BACK. K4 from left needle, K4 from the cable needle, P2* till last 12 sts, P4, Seed Stitch to end.

Row 10: 8 sts Seed Stitch, *P4, K2, P8, K2* till last 12 sts, P4, Seed Stitch to end.

Repeat Rows 2 to 10 until blanket measures the desired length. 

Repeat Border Rows 1-12 and bind off knit-wise. Assemble ends and make sure to block. 

The blanket is very soft and warm, as I wanted. It is ideal for dressing a bed and keeping toes warm. More information in my Ravelry.

silver sprinkles

I'm trying to bead the new pattern. I like how silver beads sparkle on a black background. I am sure that the bracelet will fit any outfit and of course the classic black dress. The pattern is available in my Etsy shop Lariata.etsy.com.

sunny cat

There are most people, who have a dog or a cat, or the both - I think. In our family we have a black cat. She is fluffy, curious, likes simple things like boxes and paper bags, likes to play with paper pieces and her purrs calm us down. 

But today I show a sunny cat, that was knitted with a leftover yarn - it is a toy for my little son.  

The pattern is written by Linda Dawkins and available on Ravelry.
