Hello everyone! Welcome to @needleworkmonday’s Featured Posts #7! This is a weekly Curation showcasing the needlework of our very own Steemians! Every Monday we get together to share our love and passion for the needle arts using the #needleworkmonday tag. We enjoy each other’s creations, ideas, patterns, tips and shortcuts.

We strive to bring to you great quality work filled with tutorials and inspiration. Please help us keep these wonderful forms of needle arts alive and thriving by supporting our work.

Here are our featured posts for this week...

NeedleworkMonday: Knitting technique I /Stricktechniken I [Eng/Ger] by @muscara

@muscara has been showing us her lovely knitted socks for quite sometime now. All of the different colors and styles make you want to knit your own. Today she is showing us how to make the ‘afterthought heel’! It is so neat to see the end result of this technique and the design it adds on to the already awesome self-striping sock yarn. Check it out for yourself!

NEEDLEWORKMONDAY AGAIN PEOPLE .... by @brittandjosie

Lately upcycle projects have been pretty popular in the needlework world. We are being inspired, motivated and challenged to make something new out of something old and unused. @brittandjosie presents to us another great idea! She explains how to transform old collar shirts into garments that you can wear during warmer weather under your sweaters. Do you have an old collar shirt that needs transforming?

#needleworkmonday | make like an artist by @shanibeer

@shanibeer has a great love for art. She explains how copying an artists work is one way to know the artist more deeply. It helps you to pay closer attention to detail and technique and to what the artist is expressing.

She was curious to see how one of Picasso’s paintings would translate into crochet. Here she explains her experience with freehand crochet and what she discovers.

Tailoring and Sewing a Blouse From a Pattern by @creationofcare

In this post by @creationofcare she shares with us the steps of how she altered a pattern to fit her needs. You’ll see how tailored thread markings are made and how she bastes her pleats.
