Crazy coasters

Crazy coasters

 
I didn't use a pattern with these coasters, I purchased a templet set off Amazon, cut a backing out of material to match the binding I had made. Cut a lining piece using an old blanket I keep just for doing this.  The front is made using fabric scraps from other things I have made. All material from JoaAnns.  The four coasters are about 9 inches square.

I plan on making more of these as I love using the fancy stitches on my sewing machine and I can make them in any colors or to go with the seasons or holidays.

Napkins

Napkins

 I  needed more napkins and found a cute pattern off the internet ( link below).   I made them for the seasons like Valentines for February and St Patricks for March, etc. I like flowers so for some months I just used flower patterns with a solid backing to match

Coordinating fabrics from Jo-Ann and the pattern idea  was from the internet

Lace Stitch Knitting Sampler New Lace Stitch 23

 

Lace Stitch Knitting Sampler


This project will be  one more stitche for it, 24 stitches in total, sorry it's taken me so long to get these on the site.

Lace Stitch Knitting Sampler  

Note: Lace stitch 23 is now on the Blog
 https://ninasatmyhouse.blogspot.com/2024/03/lace-stitch-23.html

I have decided to start posting the lace sampler to my blog. This sample has been an on going project on my knitting and crochet list since mid 2018. I will post a new stitch each month for at least 16 to 17 months or more. Hope you enjoy it. You will find each new stitch under the heading for Lace Stitch Knitting Sampler and listed below this posting are the past stitches.  

Materials Needed

1 row counter
2 stitch markers
1 pair Size 9 knitting needles 
Red Heart Designer Sport weight yarn two or more skeins in a very light color so that the stitches will show up nice.
1 U shaped cable needle

Knitting notes: Please read all directions first before starting the Lace Project.

1.   I am using 3101 Ivory. It is easier to see the stitches using a light color.

2.   I use a U shaped cable needle with the stitches, they do not fall off as easy as the other kinds.

3.   The multiples of lace stitches being worked between edge stitches will be different for each lace stitch, the edge stitch markers will be moving through out the lace project. So please remember to remove or add them as I say in each lace stitch pattern.
  
4.   All patterns start on the right side of your knitting, if your next pattern does not start on the right side, knit one more row.

5.   I will try and add a new stitch each month until the end of the project. At this point, I do not know when this  will end. I am up to
lace stitch 18. I have posted four so far. (see below).
