B is For...

B is for Biscornu.

Biscornu is an interesting little eight-sided pincushion that has become very popular in recent months. The word biscornu (sometimes written biscournu) is derived from a French adjective, meaning skewed, quirky or irregular.













Here is one I made from a lovely pink linen and embellished with bead embroidery.

















B is for Bat. FUZZY MITTEN'S BAT WITH JACK O'LANTERN

Gotta knit this one real soon!





















B is for Bag.
How about this cool Medieval Knitted Bag? Based on an article in Newsletter of the Needleworker's Guild in the Kingdom of the West
















Haven't done any color work for a while. Isn't this a wonderful design. I love the birds and the cats! Wendy has made her charts available here.


Talk to you later,
Lynda

And finally B is for Books:

Books to the ceiling,
Books to the sky,
My pile of books is a mile high.
How I love them! How I need them!
I'll have a long beard by the time I read them.
