I posted about these little tatted butterflies . I have been making them for the red shawl that I am working on for workshops I am teaching in the fall.
I noticed as I was photoshopping the pics that the butterfly wasn’t one of the new and revised ones. Ah well, the pics are so cute […]
I was so happy today to be able to say to my dentist:
“I really like you, but….
we’ve been seeing too much of each other.
It’s time for a break.”
She and her assistant both cracked up and we all merrily agreed that we are on a break. (we really have been spending waaaaaaaaaay too much time […]
I’ve been working away on a crocheted and tatted freeform lace butterfly shawl.
It’s been frustrating and challenging, because it just hasn’t been going the way I thought it should.
But! I have had a couple of breakthroughs that I am really pleased about.

OH!!!!! I am just delighted! After reading my posting about Hinka Osinga’s spectacular crocheted model based on the mathematics of the Butterfly Effect, Kristi found the actual pattern for it!
I’ll never have time to do it, but I love it that now I COULD!
Here’s the pattern URL: Crocheted Mathematics of Chaos Butterfly Model by Hinka […]
Lately, there has been a lot of attention paid to crocheted mathematical models.
I am passionate about butterflies. I am constantly designing homages to them in crochet, weaving, knitting, (see yesterday’s entry for a knitted Butterfly Bag), spool knitting, tatting, sewing, you name it. The picture above is a butterfly that is part of a […]
Last year, I designed a Butterfly bag that’s knitted with crochet edges. It’s spring again! (finally) and time to knit something up (quickly!) for Mother’s Day…….
Don’t have any thick yarn? Easy. Grab 3 or 4 strands of worsted weight and big fat needles and go for it!
