New Issue of Glass Line Full of Tutorials

by

skullI’ll start this post with a huge disclaimer. I’m in this issue of Glass Line with my Rose Skull Glass Bead Tutorial. Yay! But there’s so much more in this issue…it’s not just about me. There are boro tutorials and a really cool Soft Glass Implosion Rose pendant. Ooh, I want to make this…then there’s the Dichroic Filigrana Marble. How about the Lined Tubing Tutorial? Maybe not, unless you have a lathe. A bit out of my realm. Maybe you can try it. Then there’s the Octopus on Coral Base Demo. That’s a boro project.

There’s a really cool project made with Japanese glass and a japanese torch. It’s the “Amago” or Red Spotted Trout Bead. This issue is full of some really great information. Besides the tutorials is a list of upcoming workshops around the country. Check it out when you get the chance!

The Hourglass Beanie – Free Crochet Pattern

Looking for a fresh burst of creativity to start the new year? Look no further than the Hourglass Hat pattern, paired with the stunning TGWTH hand-dyed yarns! As a crafter always on the lookout for new projects, I couldn’t wait to dive into this knitting pattern and explore the vibrant world of hand-dyed yarns.

First off, let me tell you about the pattern itself. The Hourglass Hat pattern is a true gem, offering a delightful blend of style and simplicity. As someone who’s more accustomed to crochet, I found the instructions easy to follow, and the end result was nothing short of fabulous. The finished hat has a classic yet contemporary feel, making it the perfect accessory for chilly winter days or breezy spring afternoons.

Now, let’s talk about the yarn. Oh, where do I even begin? The TGWTH hand-dyed yarns are an absolute dream to work with. Each skein is a work of art in itself, bursting with vibrant colors and subtle nuances that add depth and character to any project. I opted for the sock yarn base, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. The merino wool and nylon blend is soft, yet sturdy, ensuring that my hat will not only look great but also stand the test of time.
