Here comes the Simply Lucky Clover Bookmark Pattern~
Sort of free patterns

Errata for the baby special issue of MCI came out today. Although they are not complete patterns, some people can certainly make use of them without looking at the original magazine. I got this issue on March 30 while I was waiting for my train in Metz. I finished reading it before I got to my room and became reluctant to open it again. It sort of disappointed me. I mean the cover has already been much worse than usual. The content inside doesn’t look any better than the cover, even though there are still some interesting parts. I guess I just had an extremely high expectation for MCI. 
To Tat or To Crochet?

I was sort of surprised to find out the fancy Cluny leaves can also be achieved by tatting, so I pick up my doll needle to make a try. There is a very good tutorial on tatting the Cluny leaves with needles. Obviously, this is a technique I cannot master so easily. I repeated the angle pattern 3 times to get the two wings (more or less) symmetric. I am still hesitated to claim that I know how to do the leaf: more practice is definitely necessary before trying more serious patterns.
Lacy Clover Pattern

The pattern was drew by hands. I found two trivial/ignorable mistakes (at the beginning of the 4th and 5th round) in the pattern this morning. Hopefully the following description can help to sort it out. Please let me know if you find any mistakes, so I can improve the pattern.
Pattern for Yogurt Bottle Cozy
November 21, 2007 at 7:21 am | In Craft - How-to's | 1 CommentTags: blue, cozy, crochet, pattern, thread
The bottom and the neck of the bottle are both slightly smaller than the body. The cozy are started from the bottom and finished at the neck.
Two plies of threads are used at the same time for the “textural” look. For round 1, 2, 4, 6, it’s the white thread with the light blue thread and for the others, it’s the light blue thread with shaded blue thread. A crochet hook of 3.25mm is used.
Template for Tshirt bookmark

The hanger turns to be the most “popular” part of the bookmark. More than one people asked me how/where did I get it. I didn’t use any punches or existing templates. The hangers were cut out from normal craft paper with my tiny scissor. As a matter of fact, the hangers are only partial as it is unnecessary to have complete ones.
