Watch this space for the rest of the fans as they're completed!

Entrelac Knitting

 Many years ago, I found a pattern in a magazine for a pullover which used an entrelac stitch. I enjoyed making it (and still wear it occasionally) and have since used a similar technique to make a few baby blankets and throws. Other group members were intrigued, so I trawled through various sites online for instructions to share and found them to be much more complicated than what I'd been doing. So, I spent some time coming up with a simplified pattern and shared it with the group.

I made a throw while writing out the pattern as I don't consciously think about it any more.

I used scraps of leftover yarn and made it in two sections which I stitched together then I added a crocheted border to complete it.

Group members tried the pattern, and after some false starts, there was success!

It's a lovely effect, isn't it?

Paper Bead Bracelets

 Our most reason meeting was spent making paper beads and turning them in to charm bracelets. The session was led by Adrienne, and she supplied most of what was needed. It was an interesting skill to learn, and everyone was pleased with the results.
