Flowers in Thread: Winter Holly

Flowers in Thread:  Winter Holly

Instruction + Pattern

[Virtual Education thru The Lace Museum]

 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.

 

OYA: knotted leaf motifs

This is a plastic template with a few 

leaf motifs. This was part of the Leaf Doily classes I took in July.  I used Lizbeth Size 20

Col. 684.   With a new class coming up (Maple Leaf) I figured I should practice a few motifs.

 For this group, I practiced adding in fibers.  I can tell where I added, but it looks ok.

 For this little beaded leaf -- I guess I just forgot how to create them.   It took me awhile ; )

 Repeats of the beaded edge leaf.  Lizbeth size 20 - skinny (Col. 678) & chubby (Col. 684). 

The Diamond Edging Pattern (Created in March).

I used Lizbeth Size 10, Col. 627

on "kit" template.
