Make an angel display for a crocheted necklace or a beaded crochet necklace. The display can be used for selling items at a market, if you attend an exhibition, or maybe for a special gift. 
Necklace Display - for Beaded Crochet Necklaces
I made the display in 2017 for an exhibition I was attending with other textile and yarn freaks; weavers, filters, knitters, and crocheters. I wanted to present my crocheted necklaces in a nice way.

UPDATE: Due to requests, this writing and the templates below have been updated in January 2023.

First, I found a template (and tutorial) at Georgia P Designs. There are cones for bracelets, a cone for a necklace, and a flat-back necklace display stand.

However, one of my necklaces comes with a tight bracelet. I wanted the necklace and the bracelet to be on the same display, which required the bottom of the template to be rather wide compared to the top of the template. Otherwise, the distance between the two would be too big.

After playing around for a little while, I ended up with a display shaped like angel wings. 
The files are available from my google drive. You can get a full-size copy from the links.

  • Angel Display template - as JPG
  • Angel Display template - as PDF
Make the printed side the back of your cone. The print on the template files is rather pale, so it doesn't show through the paper.

If you can't print close to the edges, you can shrink it a bit (your printer dialog should help you with this) - OR you can ignore the missing print at the margins. It should be fairly easy to guess where to cut. Use the dotted line as a guide for the front tip.

Necklace Display - Angel Wings

Carefully fold it, so the back flaps overlap with about 1cm (0.4in), and glue the part that overlaps.

I've used heavy 190g A4 paper with a very smooth surface, so I sewed a couple of stitches on the back to make the necklaces and the bracelet stay in place. I've seen others cover the display with wallpaper or likewise and I'm guessing a rougher surface will prevent the necklaces from slipping.

The Exhibition

The keywords for the exhibition in 2017 were to show some of the many different things you can do with yarn and textiles. It used to be an annual recurring event in Gudhjem Museum (Denmark, Bornholm). The last years have been hard on exhibitions due to lockdowns and restrictions, but hopefully, there will be more yarn and textile exhibitions in the future. 

I enjoyed the beaded crochet work a lot, so I might also need the displays again one day.

The world changes and so does a few things here.

Crocheted ear warmer n gloves

Last Chance of free gloves

It's your last chance of getting Evie's gloves pattern for free. Find the gloves at Ravelry or LoveCrafts.
The reason is, an ear warmer is about to join Evie's Eternities accessory set. This will be the new freebie of the set.

Last Newsletter

If you have signed up for newsletters, this might also be the last newsletter you get like this. I'm migrating to another mailer-system. At least I hope, I will. If you don't see anything from me in near future, then check your spam folder. 📧
More minor changes might happen too. We'll see.

A Personal Update

I have been silent for a while, I know.

Renovating old farm house
We are going to renovate our old farm house.

Renovating old farm house

So, the white toilet/bath wagon thingy will be an important part of our family life the next many months.

We start by tearing down kitchen, utility room and bathroom. Meaning, I might not bother you that often with new crochet posts, while all this is going on.

Kids are brave and have been really helpful packing boxes. I'm a little worried today, as it isn't easy to find an alternative place for the stove, plus the washing machine decided to die yesterday. We do have a fridge though - for now.


With a little luck, I'll have a hobby/yarn room, when all this is over.
And most importantly. I'll do my best to ensure, no yarn gets hurt during the house project :)

Handmade crochet hook
I hope you've had a nice Christmas and I wish you a happy New Year with lots of great crochet projects.

Handmade crochet hook

Hubby has been working on something for me these holidays with a lathe he set up. So yesterday, I had the pleasure to test a big handmade hook of mahogany. What a joy!

Have you been told to hold your hook as a pencil or maybe as a knife? This might be wrong for you.

How to Hold Your Hook and Avoid Pain

Then, how to hold the hook? And how to avoid pain, if you want to crochet a lot?

We have people digging in our garden. They hit the internet cable, so...


I'm currently working with a cellphone as hotspot, but it is very, very slow. So this is all you get from me this week. I'll go do some crochet instead of sitting in front of the computer CU - and have a nice weekend! :)

Ribbon versus Cassette Tape for DIY Projects
Ever thought about using (video) cassette tape for a crochet project? It is smooth and soft and got a distinct metallic color. Apparently, it isn't such a good idea though.

Splitting yarn is no big deal, if it is just a minor piece. However, one day you might need to split more and need to know, how to avoid a big messy tangled ball of yarn.

Splitting Yarn - tools

Some DIY pages have omitted a few details about splitting yarn. I've added these points to this guide.

www.stonegnome.com is getting a new look. The old template had different issues, I wanted to solve. Hopefully the new one will give you a better experience. At least for mobile users, it should be an improvement.

 
I'll probably be working on fixing bugs the next week or two, but if you find any major issues, let me know anyway! Minor issues might disappear within these two weeks. If not, get in touch.

You can contact me here or on facebook.

I bought this yarn at Magical Yarns (Magiske Garner). It is rolled up on cones. I needed some way for it to turn, when I pull the thread. So it doesn't get twisted.

SO, what to do?!
