Flowers in Thread: Winter Holly

Flowers in Thread:  Winter Holly

Instruction + Pattern

 Here are two 'mistake' holly leaf patterns, + on leaf to 'edge'.   During the class, I was watching, knotting, checking the pattern, and kept moving along (ignoring mistakes).   Learned A LOT.  Berry beads for now.

Lizbeth Size 10 - Color 714 (green)

- Color 670 (red)

My knotted berry pieces are a sight for sore eyes.   Found some berry beads and will use them (until I can master the knotting in the round).  

Have a large and small leaf beginning -- plan to put the holly leaf edge on.  Making the spikes is a lot of fun - trying to get them equal on both sides, a challenge.  Maybe they don't need to be exact.

I enjoy exploring this type of knotting w/large needle - following the sessions of edges ...

and the square pieces / doily, the shapes are wonderful to learn and create.

Update: Buds Pattern

 After looking closely, I found a couple (noticeable) mistakes.   Took them out and plan to re-knot them correctly.    This was a class, Buds Pattern Doily, which was a good class, wonderful to learn new ways of doing things.

This is in progress.  Modified from pattern in her book.  I'm creating one of the rounds.  Using Lizbeth, Size 20, Col. 678.  The thread 'tails' will be taken care of on completion of this round.   I tape them to the back while making the oya double knots - keeping them out of the way.  I should have this ready for the final step (fancy stuff with the two open loops).  And a new pattern for the participants in these sessions.

Stay tuned, Fouth/final session will be on Wednesday.

I need more templates!!!

These are a challenge to photograph -- trying my best.
