A Handy Drawing Pad

"Did you do all these drawings, Doctor?"

                                                                                      (Silence of the Lambs;1991)

I have got my first e-mail with a tutorial request in June. I was very happy to know that someone likes my blog and find it interesting. The request concerned a drawing pad, which the author of the e-mail had found on the Internet. I have send her a preliminary version of the tutorial but I didn't have time for posting it here. This week I finally found time for completing this project. The final version vary from what I send as an answer, but the result should be the same. It is also a good opportunity to learn the patchwork technique.

Kitty Hairband

"Everybody wants to be a cat.."

Recently, I have noticed a new trend among the teenagers interested in Japanese culture – cat's ears. They're supposed to be „kawaii” and adorable, but those I found are, for me, too fluffy and too extravagant so I decided to make simpler ones myself. They can be used as a hair decoration for teenagers, as an element of a costume for kids or an interesting addition to your sexy outfit. Once again the basic knowledge in crochet will be needed here (for the new readers – you can find very comprehensible tutorials for basic stitches in „A vernal hair accessory”).
