Thank you for joining me on my crochet journey and for watching my videos. Now most of these crochet tutorials can use standard on the shelf crochet, knitting ...
hey there miss Teresa!! Is there a way you could demonstrate how to start
this edging? Like... getting it going from the beginning when you attatch
the thread to the edge? I am making a doily. The tulip doily you have in
the first video you showed a bunch of doilies that you had made and its in
there and I found the pattern and I love it. its a little time consuming
sewing the tulips together but I like it and was wanting to add Bruges Lace
on the edge around the outside of the tulips. Thanks :)
Oddly this video helps me get back to a beret made of mercerized thread
which I started many decades ago (but still want it done for my daughter).
It is supposed to have a huge lacy flower on top and chains webbing to fill
the rest to the thin rim. Beret lays flat like a pancake, opening rim of
23", diam. when flat about 12", looks a bit french.., slightly starched
would be good. Can you help me? Thanks, Teresa, for reading me.
I used chain 6 to get up to my next row. In some of the curved places on my
example, I did a chain 3, then a double crochet in the joining motif, Chain
3, then continue on with my bruges lace edging. You control what direction
you want your lace piece to go. With the doily that I have finished at the
start of the video, there are circles with that one. The bookmarker is a
curvy S shape.
I don't have a video on the people. It is supposed to be an adult holding
the hand of a child but my adult is squished right now. It should not be so
squished (Hopefully) once I get it starched and shaped. My thought process
for the people came from watching the Summer Olympics and the clipart
abstract people they used for each event. I decided to make some abstract
crochet people.
Bruges Lace can be used anywhere that you would like to use it. I saw a
doily last week made completely of Bruges Lace, nothing else. It was very
elegant. I was actually going to add more to my piece after I added the
Bruges Lace but then I realized that I was almost out of my drab(stained)
thread so I decided that was where I will end it. I am still working on it,
slowly.
It is really easy to do. You chain 3, and then put your hook through the
previous loops. I will use 6 as the example. Once you have ran your hook
through the 6 loops, pull your thread through, chain 3 and continue on with
your double crochet. You are doing half of your chain 6, picking up the
loops you want to join, finish your chain 6.
I just added a very unique butterfly to my crochet blog tonight. You might
like it. I didn't create it until after I started edging my freeform piece.
I may find a way to get this butterfly (in thread) on it. I will be adding
a flower to my blog tomorrow. I put a lot of patterns on my crochet blog
that are not posted here on Youtube.
Thank you. When I was first learning, I had a tendency to go "by the book."
Once you understand the basics, anything goes. Just a few days ago I saw a
woman who made crochet purses in the shape of steaks. I have also seen
crochet cupcakes. Think outside the box. It is very rewarding to create
something that is one of a kind.
This piece looks beautiful.. I was wondering if you could make a clip
tutorial from the begining/start with this style..I would like to learn how
to make either curtains or a table cloth and I think this style of
crocheting would be perfect for either curtains or table cloths.. Any idea
or advice on how I can go with it?
With common stitches and shapes like a circle or Bruges lace, the chances
are really great that someone else has already created it hundreds or
thousands of years ago. You can actually create a unique pattern using
Bruges Lace that no one else has created. I have seen some doily's that are
really interesing.
I love the look of this. All your videos have been wonderful so far. I am
only just starting but one day would like to design and make things like
this...but what do you make it with? Is it thread? very fine or special
type of yarn? And what sizes of hook would you recommend for finer doily
work?
I just had a question on how you attached each piece. The lacy work in
between each piece. I am in the process of making a lacy doily but don't
know how to fill in the big spaces with the lacy look. If you could help me
it would be soooo appreciated. Thank you! and keep up the WONDERFUL work!
I’m relatively new at crocheting but I find that I’m quite good at it and
would like to try making finer lace. Which size thread and needle are you
using? Which, in your opinion, is the best for fine lace for attaching to
or making jewellery? Great video by the way!
This is a size 10 crochet cotton. I use a wide range of hook sizes with the
size 10. Red Heart does have a size 3 that would be a great size for
jewelry making. Doubling up size 10 cotton is another way to work with
larger thread. It becomes nice and solid for jewelry.
The lace that you have on the left hand side that looks like a circle with
the spiral design in it, can you please show me or tell me how you did it?
My boyfriend wants me to make a blanket with that as the design. Is there
anyway you could teach me. Please?
@redfoxyk Thank you. I use crochet cotton/thread to make the doily. The
common sizes are 10, 20 and 30. You can use steel crochet hooks ranging in
sizes from 0-12. These numbers are not the same as the numbers on the
aluminum hooks.
I have to say that this piece is fabulous!!! I have such a hard time being
creative with crochet.. I stick so rigidly to the pattern! Why can't I be
more creative and do some freeform? I really want to! You are amazing!
You are so right. I used to rigidly stick to the patterns too, but now I
seldom pick up my pattern books anymore and just "do my own thing". Thanks
for the video. You're are a crochet master!!!
Breathtaking Bruges
City Break Bruges, Belgium
For a city that was battered by the ravages of the world wars. And again, for a city whose monuments took centuries to build by the hands of hard manual labor.
Huge Brawl at The Markt Bruges Belgium
Things turned from bad to worse in seconds, as one sour apple sparks a lynch mob that tries to break down the doors of this bar in Bruges. Some kind Americans ...
