Biscornu

 

This is a Hardanger biscornu I finished from a pattern I purchased at the Needlework Show in Paris, France.  I lined it with silk and filled it with ground walnut shells, could be used as a pin cushion or a paper weight.

This on was made from a pattern in the English magazine Stitch, but I made several changes including the flower, it was originally a poppy.  Each petal long and short stitch with blanket stitch around the edge over wire.  The leaf is made the same way.

You will notice I did not put the button on this on to pull the center.  I think this one would be better as a paper weight, not sure I want to put a pin in the needlepoint.

 

Witch, Handwarmers & Biscornu

This was my Christmas gift from my friend. Isn't she lovely?

Here are the hand warmers I made, while another friend made hers. I learned that I needed to pay attention when I was knitting these.

This is the project my cousin and I worked on while she was here last week. She finished her's after she went home, now we just have to wait to get a picture of hers to join mine.
