Bows, bows, bows...
My "sewing stretch-knit fabric without a serger" tutorial has taken a backseat due to a broken light bulb so I've been working on the samples for my Clover Bow Maker video tutorial instead.
I'm hoping to do the filming tomorrow but in the meantime, please enjoy some photos of my samples. I've given them the "I'm so addicted making bows that I've used up all my ribbon stash"* seal of approval.
* I did, and then I went and bought some more :)
The three sets of bow makers
My sample bows
Check out my flickr "needlework gadgets" album to see each bow with the bow maker/s used to create them

Gadgety Fun
Long term readers and visitors to knitting-and.com will be aware of my ongoing love of flower looms and other needlework gadgets.
On the first note, I made a slideshow of the flower loom techniques and projects from the website because so many people seem to think the only things you can make with loomed flowers are blankets made from a single type of flower.
More education is required ;-)
On the second note, I have Clover bow
and
sweetheart rose makers!
I'm currently making samples of both but watch out for some pics in my next post.
