Knitting Calculators for Waist and Armholes

Great finally get my website Craft2Style.com going for the final time after changing host. It was a lot more work than I thought. Especially to get the two knitting calculators going from a window application to another. Ok, here’s the knitting calculators:

Waist shaping knitting calculator at http://craft2style.com/knitting-calculators/2-calculators/139-waist-shaping-for-custom-fit-knitting

Armhole shaping knitting calculator at http://craft2style.com/knitting-calculators/2-calculators/140-armhole-shaping-for-custom-fitted-knitting

The old links are somewhat misplaced due the new site structure. Hope this will make the calculators more accessible.

Ren or "Endurance" - Machine Embroidery in pes

Both colored parts form a single word scripted in Chinese. The word means "to endure" or "endurance". It is represented by a knife hovering over the heart. If you look carefully, the grey part resembles a Chinese kitchen cleaver. If read separately the bottom half of the word (in red) means "heart”. To endure is like having a knife stabbed into your heart!




The symbol is often favored those who practice martial arts and is found in some martial arts school.

New Embroidery for the month of July

The weather has been in my thoughts recently. Rather, I was day dreaming when it occurs to me that we are counting down to days from the Beijing Olympic. With just a few days left, sportsmen and athletes the world over will be gathering under the Chinese sky to compete against their best. Hence, the design of the Chinese character "Sky", centered amidst muted clouds in pastel tones.

The design is available for download in our Contemporary Collection.

New Craft2Style.com !

Guess you have been wondering why moi have been missing in action all this while....

Apart from taking a short break, I was busy updating and redesigning Craft2style.com. There was also this issue of looking for a new host as the old hosting company for the site was somewhat slagging. It is a major consideration as it concerns a total makeover.

The tedious technical stuff took up most of the time. I did however enjoy redesigning the new logo and the site theme. Most important the new site will provide better access to member resources apart from neater information retrieval of the more popular articles like projects and embroidery downloads. We are also looking into providing a better access for our authors to submit their contributions.

Well it has been a long wait to finally relaunch a totally new Craft2Style.com. I am particularly proud of the new logo..

Vintage Toggle Clasps for Jewelry Making

Went on a shopping spree recently and got some unique toggle clasps. In the past I have used toggle clasps on loom beaded bracelets that matched beautifully. I generally go for the copper or the brass toned ones which are less common in the local stores. I have come to learn that the craft stores here in Singapore do not hold many pieces of the same designs and their stocks are often erratic. Such that it is difficult to get the same products each time. This time round I managed to get hold of a few gems. Haven't thought about what I am going to do with them yet. Will keep these pictures in my PDA the next time I go beads shopping.

A fairly large toggle clasp at about 1 inch wide. The clasp has a bit of middle eastern flair.

An interesting lock and key toggle set. I am thinking of a bracelet for this.

The leave set toggle clasp is fairly large and will go well as a center piece of any necklace on its own.
