Ars Una, Species Mille

I have made it!

I have finished the my first Niebling project last night. It's a Niebling Oak doily. The pattern is from old german Anna Magazine (August 1985).
I knit it in mercerize cotton 330m/50g on 2.5mm needles.
I start doily two weeks ago and knitted it almost every everning. I'm very happy with the result!

You can see the doily here before pinned it.

Crochet Rope

Here are some examples of my crochet necklace in a different styles. Usually I use the perle cotton thread and 0.65 - 1 mm crochet hook. So far, I like this thread ease of crocheting.
My first experiment with crochet in Turkish technique resulted in this coral necklace for my younger sister. I used the coral chip beads and 10/0 glass Czech seed beads.

My sister like blue color and turquoise. This necklace has united all her wishes))). I used the 9/0 Czech opague seed beads, wthite 8 mm Chezh beads and turquoise.

My inspiration comes from the pattern "Diamond and Daggers" by Judith Bertoglio-Griffin in her book Patterns and Graphing for Bead Crochet Ropes. I used 11/0 glass Czech opaque and transperent seed beads and tear-shaped glass beads.

This lariat is my first experience in knitting bead rope. I has knitted its all for 5 hours. Its length is 1.20m, I love it)))I used 12/0 glass Czech transparent seed beads and amber chip beads.
