Item# 37

Finest pure white Ulster 100% Irish linen handkerchief with narrow 1/8" hem and decorative hemstitching. 10½" square. Exquisite true Irish linen is worth your money and time to make an heirloom for someone special.

This handkerchief is ready for you to embroider or add your own handmade lace edgings. The narrow hemstitched hem makes the ideal basis for a crocheted, knitted, or tatted lace trim.

Knit a miniature version of the red, white and blue U.S. flag. The lacy stripes and beaded stars symbolize the flag proudly waving in the breeze. Finished size approximately 3" by 5". NOTE: PATTERN NOT INCLUDED. Please purchase downloadable e-Pattern separately.

Supplies Pak includes 3 balls of size 8 DMC pearl cotton, size 11/0 Miyuki Japanese glass seed beads, and collapsing eye twisted wire needle for easy stringing of the beads. Enough materials to make several mini flags.

Note: I have run out of colors as made for the original sample. Your supplies pak will include threads in ecru, imperceptibly different shade of red, and your choice of wedgewood #311 or navy blue #823 (wedgewood is slightly lighter). Beads are pearl ceylon to coordinate with the ecru thread. You can't go wrong with either choice depending on whether you prefer an Early Americana or Country Americana look.

Easy-to-knit two-color socks with spiraling stripes give the simple tube sock a peppermint twist. No grafting needed for the spiral decrease toes and no heel shaping either! You can make several to keep on hand for unplanned gifts, since the adaptable tube shape fits any foot length.

Misty Soft is a double-sided infinity scarf with no edges and no wrong side showing.

Sparkly beads glisten like raindrops, greeting the awakening of Spring's first leaves.

Includes 30g size 6/0 seed beads in color choice plus 2-ounce/215 yards skein Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock in color Forest, a hand-dyed soft and durable fingering weight yarn in 80% superwash wool/20% nylon yarn. Green-lined Crystal AB shown right in main photo; Ice Blue-lined Crystal AB are to left. NOTE: PATTERN NOT INCLUDED. Please purchase downloadable e-Pattern separately.

Attention: Scarf photo on sample pattern cover page was knitted in a hand spun yarn and therefore is different than the yarn included with this supplies pak. Please hover over the first 2 thumbnail pictures for knitted sample showing how the Forest hand-dyed yarn included in this Supplies Pak works up.

Here's a stitch that curves and meanders but still remains true...not unlike affairs of the heart.
