Sock blockers that are both beautiful and practical! These were designed and handmade exclusively for HeartStrings. They have a unique design that is functional at both ends to accommodate 2 sock foot sizes. Made of non-warping laminated hardwoods, beveled edges, sealed with four hand rubbed coats of polyurethane, and polished to a mirror finish.

These blockers are a work of beauty for display even when not being used to block socks! Sets are available in 3 sizes. Each set comes with 2 sock blockers in the same size.

Flared Lace Smoke Ring is designed with stunning knitted lace of ribs that radiate like a fan. The knitted tube is shaped in pattern so that the bottom is slightly flared. This makes a versatile accessory that can be worn pulled down around the neck to lay on the shoulders as a dressy cowl neckline, or pulled up over the head as an elegant head covering. Note: This version of the pattern includes the written as well as charted instructions for the lace pattern stitches.

High quality Japanese glass drop beads by Miyuki, approximately 300 per 15g. These beads are rounded at one end, and tapered at the other end where the hole is, i.e. they look like a teardrop! and are sometimes referred to as fringe beads. Great for beads around the edge of a shawl or scarf, or dangling within a yarn over of knitted lace, etc.

Beads are packaged in clear zip-top bags for easy handling; no tubes to roll around or tops popping off and spilling beads. Approximately 300 per 15g bag.

See sample card to get approximation of color. The two transparent crystal colors are similar. Choose the cool-toned crystal (DP-250) if you want the bead to add a bit of its own bluish and pinkish tones from the Aurora Borealis (AB) finish. Choose the warm-toned crystal (DP-131) for a perfectly clear bead to add sparkle to your yarn.

Tea-time Serviette gives double meaning to tea time. After knitting the lace, dye it with tea for a vintage look. Then add the pretty lace napkin to your tea service for a nostalgic setting.

This design features a petit scalloped edging, optional beaded cast on, circular knitting from outer edge to center to create a square that lies flat, and tea dyeing.

5/15/2014 Update -- SORRY, This selection is all sold out. I am leaving it up in the Store so there is not a dead link if people are looking. At least you can still get inspiration for some color combos you might try out for yourself.
