Bells On My Toes is a festive holiday miniature sock for you to knit with beads and a bell. Simple beading techniques make this mini sock pattern quick to knit, and the results look impressive. I bet you won't be able to make just one!

Here is a beautiful small lace piece in the shape of a leaf of the majestic Oak tree. This project is rated as "mindful knitting", i.e. it will take careful attention as there is little repetitiveness to the rows. But otherwise the knitter familiar with basic lace knitting can expect to have a fun knit with this pattern (and probably will not want to stop at making just one). We've seen these oak leaf medallions used in a variety of ways: small doilies, coasters, tasseled bookmarks, fall holiday decorations and appliqué embellishments. For what will you use yours?

artful knitting for your neck!

Fantasy Leaves Scarfette is knitted as a long garland of leaf medallions connected by I-cord stems. Have fun letting a ball of yarn in slow-changing colors auto-magically transition from color to color as the leaves come off the needles.

Alternating light and dark accent beads add sparkle and stylish class to the scultped lace silhouette of this wide fashion scarf or shoulder stole.
