Lace Star Ornament #2 | Free Pattern.
Last year I wrote about an ornament I'd made in a previous year, that I'd more-or-less reproduced. It's fine, but it was really hard to block. Anyway, I've decided to do one similar, but a bit bigger. This one is (guess what?) easier to block. Mission…

The Fantail stitch is a quick and beautiful crochet stitch. Sounds great, right? Yup, it is great. I don't even know how many times I've used it. Unfortunately, fantail doesn't work terribly well with non-elastic yarns. Cotton and rayon fibers (for example) have little-to-no elasticity. How do I know? Yup, I tried it. As an aside, there are other factors that play into elasticity…

I did some cute little flowers on the striped sampler afghan I made my daughter. I plan to do these again on the afghan for my sister-and-brother-in-law. The pattern for them can be found here:

Diamond stitch always felt like too much work, and too much yarn for the effect. I mean it's cool, but not quite worth it. Working it in stripes with a single row of diamond each somehow makes it look worth it to me.
