Mysteries, Classes and Clubs

The August newsletter for Bedecked and Beaddazzled is the complete listing of all Ruth Schmuff's upcoming mysteries, shop classes and clubs. But there is more!  Ruth always throws in a stitch diagram and explanation of how to use it and derivatives of it.   This month she talks about Milanese, how to use it, how to make compensation easier and how to work it in vertical rows instead of on the diagonal.

Horizontal Milanese Masquerade

Sheena likes to share a stitch diagram on her blog occasionally, but being Sheena, it's never just a stitch diagram. This time Holizontal Milanese comes disguised as a Christmas tree!

Since it is Christmas, don't miss visiting the Linder Tree, a Cleveland landmark turned into a canvas by Wool and Willow, stitch guided by Sheena herself.  Many of us don't have a tree (I don't this year, not with Watson the Clumsy galloping through the living room!) but we can always stitch the tree of our dreams.
