Union Jack Bag Pattern

£2.00

What better way to show your dedication to British farmers, sheep and yarns than by making a union flag bag?! The red, white and blue really says everything you need it to say, but if you fancy being more individual play around with subtle or wacky colour and texture combinations. Felting is a fun way to transform soft yarns into practical accessories by just throwing them in the washing machine! Texere Troon Tweed is spun in oil, so knits very easily and totally changes when washed. Texere Airedale Aran is softer, without flecks and felts even easier. Try combining the two for unusual textures & effects.
This pattern has two designs included - red-white-blue & Green style bags

From forget-me-not to poinsettia and lily-of-the-valley to mistletoe, garden favourites and exotic blooms, you'll find everything you need to make a bright bouquet or a pretty wreath ? including leaves, a few friendly insects such as a ladybird and a bee, and even fruit and veg! Each of the 100 patterns has clear written instructions to either knit or crochet the item, and the crochet patterns are also charted, making it really easy to see how the flower is constructed. You'll find great ideas for how to use finished flowers in the back of the book.?

Suzen Millodot shows how to create a mouth-watering array of original necklaces and bracelets using decorative Chinese knots, beads, pendants and semi-precious stones.

Matching bracelets catch the eye and can be worn on any occasion. Once the techniques are mastered, designs can be as extravagant, or as simple as you want - no specialist equipment is required and no special skills. The techniques are explained clearly with many detailed step-by-step photographs, accompanying diagrams and helpful advice, and inspirational projects are included to develop skills and inspire creativity.

Celtic Knots for Beaded Jewellery by Suzen Millodot
Knotting Matters said, ?I had found great inspiration in the author's earlier book ?Chinese Knots for Beaded Jewellery? and I am pleased to say that this second book is not a disappointment. It is visually attractive, with clear and concise instructions and diagrams for tying the knots. The colourful photos of the completed jewellery show the attractive designs to great effect, and are a source of inspiration to jewellery makers. The book contains a little information about the history of Celtic designs and whilst there are plenty of books on the market for a more in-depth study, anyone wishing to apply Celtic designs to jewellery will find this is a very useful book either to dip into and enjoy or for some inspiration and advice. Suzen has some excellent ideas for the combination of knots, cords and beads, which display the charm, sometimes simple, sometimes more intricate, of the Celtic patterns and weaves. The book contains some very useful tips which could be applied to other areas of knot tying. £9.99
