Pretty In Pink! - Free Chart!

I am proud to offer this chart free for your crafting pleasure. She'd make a lovely cross stitch piece, or a mini tapestry via hand-knotting as I've begun to do.  Feel free to shake it up - change the color scheme etc.  Enjoy and please share your finished pieces if you want. I'd love to see what you can do!

Friendship-Bracelets.net - Patterns for days!

When I first found Friendship-Bracelets.net, I'm pretty sure I spent several months going through all the patterns, and tutorials they have on the site. I couldn't stop looking at the patterns long enough to make any of them. I still spend a lot of time there looking at the latest and greatest additions to their already enormous stock. New gems are added daily by community members. In addition to normal friendship bracelet patterns, they also have tons of alpha patterns and kumihimo patterns. Whatever your poison, or whether you are a beginning or pro,  knotter, cross stitcher, or general crafter... you will not leave this site without saving at least a couple hundred designs. 

This is just a couple of my favorite selections during my visit today. These are smaller patterns, ranging from 8 strings to 12 strings.  I'm sure if you're here, you've probably already been there... if not, you should head there now because you've got a lot to see. I'm going to check out the new alphas... maybe I'll share those too. Enjoy!

Free Chart - Sunset Love

Happy Saturday! Today I am offering another free chart. This is a simple chart that can be used as an alpha pattern for a hand knotted piece (mini tapestry or friendship bracelet), as a cross stitch chart, or any craft that involves the use of a charted pattern. However you use it, please enjoy and have fun!

Sunset Love - Alpha Pattern / Cross Stitch Chart

Free Patterns For All!

Hi everyone-

I am happy to announce that I will be publishing some of my patterns on this blog. The patterns that I create can be used for a variety of crafts and hobbies. The software I use to create and publish my designs is called StitchSketch Pro.  I will be sharing the charts only. Please right-click to save the patterns you want. You are welcome to use the color schemes I have chosen, or come up with your own. The patterns are free to use and enjoy.

The most wonderful thing about charts (also known as alpha patterns, grids, or graphs - and others) can be used for so many things. You can use them for hand-knotting friendship bracelets patterns, micro macrame, cross-stitch charts, loom beading patterns, pixel art patterns, Perler Bead patterns,  Filet Crochet patterns, Knitting motifs, Tapestry Weaving... and probably more.  

If you are like me you've probably used a cross stitch border to make a hand-knotted bracelet, and vice versa. I have gone so far as to use the charted solutions for Japanese Crossword Puzzles to create hand-knotted creations.

I have a lot of fun creating beautiful works of art and wearable art pieces and am happy to share some of my designs with you. In the future, I will likely release only one design at a time... but for my introductory post, I am sharing a batch of basic designs that are fantastic for beginners. Please enjoy.
