I am a Filofax fanatic, and added a new personal sized Original in patent purple to my collection. I worry it would take a beating in my handbag, so I just had to knit a cosy sleeve for this lovely planner.

Knitting with wire and beads creates interesting pieces of jewelry. Use this tutorial for making really impressive and unique gemstones.

Using wire and beading techniques, knit this shamrock to create a unique brooch.

It is intersting to note that the word amethyst originates from the Ancient Greek word meaning “not intoxicated”, a reference to the belief that the stone protected its owner from drunkenness.
