AIM Member Showcase ~ Helena Bleeker

Introducing Helena Bleeker, a master at miniature knitting. In the above photo, Helena shares with us "Bella" and a lovely teddy bear made and dressed by a dear friend of hers in Belgium.

The "Connie" and “Bella” pattern above was knitted using the new Bio certified cotton from Venne Holland. Helena tells us that the thickness of the cotton is Nm 50/2 which places it exactly between the 34/2 and 70/2. This new thread knits up beautifully and shows the pattern in great detail. Helena stocks the full colour range available at the moment and the colour chart is now shown on her web site, which also shows the full range of Miniature Knitting patterns in 1/12 and 1/24 scale plus miniature knitting needles and threads. All the threads can be used for crochet and lace making as well, so why not pay Helena a visit at her website;

Meet our Members - Sara Scales and Kate Milton

Myself Sara Scales and my sister Kate Milton are who make up Minidreamz.  Between us our skills are quite eclectic, Kate is the knitter and I have a go at everything.  My main areas though are cross stitch and bead work and am aiming to move into crochet.  I also like to work in felt for mini toys, cushions and and christmas bits.  All our products are hand made.  We are brand new to the business side and have only done to fairs to date but we are now hooked.

I am a contributer to Dolls House World magazine and recently have been given a monthly chat and project page.  The first one of those is in this month coming (october edition).  I have done my chat type page "Twelth Scales" yes I know its corny but it was their idea and also a cross stitch spooky castle picture and a trick or treat bag.  Still waiting to see if they are going to use it all but i have been told I can have two pages.
