Crochet - Joining Squares with Crochet Method Frivole 2021-01-25 | I recently completed a baby blanket and came up with this method to join the squares (I've no doubt not invented anything but had not seen it done like this before though I'm sure other people have used this method). I like the look of the seam it creates and the fact that it's also nice and flat. I was asked what method I had used on my blanket so I made a video to demonstrate.The blanket is made using Destany Wymore's Victorian Lattice Square pattern which can be found here: ravelry.com/patterns/library/victorian-lattice-square
Tatting - The Josephine Knot vs the Josephine Chain Frivole 2020-11-21 | I used a Josephine Chain (JC) instead of a Josephine Knot (JK) in my Flowering Quatrain bookmark pattern which can be found here:drive.google.com/file/d/0B2SUi2Rbut3JM1ljUG1aQkdXQWM/editI chose a Josephine chain as I preferred the way it looked for this particular pattern. This video shows the difference between a JK and a JC.*** Don't forget to change your settings to view this video in HD! ***The sample is tatted in Lizbeth thread in size 20 using my La Cossette shuttles which can sometimes be found for sale in my Etsy shop (www.etsy.com/shop/lacossette).
Tatting - Hen & Chicks Corner Frivole 2020-11-16 | Here is the corner I designed for the Hen & Chicks Edging I showed you in my previous video. Hen & Chicks is a classic edging that can be found in many vintage and out of copyright tatting publications but it's a straight edging which doesn't have a corner. There are many solutions that would work and no doubt other people have come up with their own designs but this is my idea of a corner for Hen & Chicks. I hope you like it!The thread I used in this video is Lizbeth size 20 in colour "Antique Violet Lt".Here is the pattern (Edging and Corner)Hen & Chicks Edging:R4-4 rwleave 4mm bare thread (and between each subsequent element)R3-3-3-3 rw*R3+2-2-2-2-2-2-3 rwR3+3-3-3 rwR4+4 rwR3+3-3-3 rwR4-4 rwR3+3-3-3 rwRepeat from *To Turn the Corner:After a large ring,R3+3-3-3 rwR4+2-2, rw (there are no bare threads after this ring and between the following 5 elements)R2-2-2-2-2 rwR3+2-2-2-3 dnrwR3+2-2-2-2-2-2-3 dnrwR3+2-2-2-3 dnrwR2+2-4 rwstart leaving a 4mm bare thread again from hereR3+3+3-3and continue from * above
