\"Christmas<\/a>6 Videos #597 to #602: <\/span>A classic knitting or needlepoint pattern that never gets old. It just gets more nostalgic with each passing year.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Is there anything more nostalgic than a cozy red and white Christmas sweater, knit with awesome borders, poinsettias and deer with antlers? I mean really! The Holiday Knit look is so hot right now that everything from paper, stencils, cell phone cases and of course jewelry and decor items are adorned with these types of patterns.<\/span><\/p>\n

So I thought this would be the perfect time to show you how you can make your own Christmas Sweater Cane, using micro-caning techniques and my own Christmas Sweater design out of polymer clay… of course!<\/span><\/p>\n

What is so great about this micro-caning technique is that you can get a highly detailed cane that doesn’t need a lot of reducing (which means there is very little distortion) and all you have to do is follow the pattern.<\/span><\/p>\n

Included in this tutorial is my own Micro-cane pattern in Pdf format for 4 individual cane design that you can use separately to make your own pattern, or in the combination that I show in the tutorial, to make the Christmas Sweater design. The four patterns include two border designs, a Deer’s Head with antlers and a traditional Poinsettia pattern.<\/span><\/p>\n

Posted just below is a Sneak Peak and overview of my Christmas Sweater Cane Tutorial. The rest of the 6 part video series will be posted tomorrow (Friday, Dec 5, 2014) in Vol-079 at the Polymer Clay Tutor Library<\/a>.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
