I have a brand new tutorial for you today. A tiny plush flower embroidered using the plush template embroidery technique. Also known as Amish stumpwork, among other things.
This tiny flower is an unusual motif, very quick to stitch, and is great for using up tiny scraps of yarn, and filling in empty spaces in larger designs.
I hope you enjoy it, and if you’d like to see a video showing how to stitch it, let me know in the comments!
I’ve added a new tutorial today, for working plush template embroidery (aka Amish stumpwork, plushwork, German tufted wool embroidery), without any knots.
This tutorial includes a new star shaped template, which will be the first of a large collection of motifs that I will be uploading over time. I hope you enjoy what will be an ongoing series, that will include lots of new information the technique of plush template embroidery as well as many traditional, and unusual template designs.
If you would like me to make a video to go along with this tutorial, let me know in the comments!
I have returned to adding new knitting and craft content to the website here at Knitting-and.com.
Today, I have a new pattern for a classic 1940’s lacy jumper, or sweater called the Bracken-Fern Lace Summer Jumper.
I have taken the pattern from 1947, updated it into modern knitting terms, added a chart for the lace stitch and finally figured out how to make sure none of the ads print when you print it out (or to a pdf if you have that capability)..

Hello! It’s been a LONG time since I’ve posted, but I finally have something new to show you!
Over the past couple of years I’ve been gathering up all of my embroidery and teneriffe lace samplers, samples and any bits and pieces I like and making them all into fabric books so I can look at them without risking damage.
I’ve made seven so far, and made a flip-through video of them all to share with you! I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed making them!
I’ll let you decide!
I have to admit, I like clowns. I also like horror movies and true crime stories, so make of that what you will 😉
Today’s free embroidery download is an Anchor School Embroidery leaflet from 1974. It has a complete design for a clown pillow, plus a sheet of features you can use to create your own faces. There’s some facial hair that would make a pretty awesome hipster pillow!
