herring bone margaret brooch & scarf

Here is the finished brooch, it is made using the herring bone stitch. The leaves are made using the brick stitch.

My student taught me how to make this scarf. It is made using the chain stitch. Make a long chain for the length of the scarf then go through each link and make a chain stitch but pull the yarn through the link to about 4-6 cm long, do this for the length of the scarf. It only took 2 hours and 2 balls of yarn. I bought the yarn at the 100 yen (US $1) store, so it only cost me 200 yen (US$2)! Depending on the type of yarn you use, your frills can be thicker or thinner. My beads teacher loved this and wants to try making it herself! (sorry, I learned crochet in Japanese, so I know the terms in Japanese, I hope you can understand how to make this!)

working on...

I have all the pieces for my herring bone stitch brooch. I'll be able to put it together at class tomorrow.

glove holder

It is almost glove season here...This project took about an hour because of all the pin work.

Using the small clip, attach it around the handle of your bag and when you take your gloves off, clip your gloves into the holder...you'll never lose your gloves again.

american brick stitch pendant

This project was a kit that was designed by an American designer, Stephanie Eddy and then it was translated to Japanese. It is a brick stitch pendant. It didn't take many hours to make maybe about 3. It is also called "falling leaves", which is perfect for the season!

Currently working on this brick stitch necklace....it is quite easy, I should be finished soon.

Finished! I put it onto my work mat because the clasp is quite tight (need someone to help me put it on and take it off)....onto my next project.
