So this is how this pattern came to life. I was searching on the internet for like crochet fonts or something so I could write up a couple of patterns to put up on here or for sale or whatever, and I found this great blog that spoke of Adobe illustrator and even gave a 3 part tutorial on how to use the basics (you can find the 1st part here) So I thought I'd give it a shot. It took me forever mind you so for those of you who will be testing out this edging, you'd better be thankful lol. Its not the most perfect, but I hope you get the basic idea. I've done an example of this edging on my blog, only with beads and I said it looked like 7s, so if you want to look at what the oya should look like (minus the beads) then look here (obviously its the yellow one) So yeah..try it out, let me know what you think, and if you want to repost the diagram anywhere, please remember that I spent ages trying to make it as best as a beginner can, so make sure you link it back to my profile. Thankyou very much and have a wonderful day! Oh and by the way: I didn't know what you call a "wrap 4 times around hook" so just make sure you count 4 and then pull one through, then pull 2 by 2 through until you have one loop left.

More on the secret language of OYA
12:50 AM 0 Comments igne oyasi, knotted lace, oya lace how to, turkish knotted lace, understanding oya
So these examples of oya (except the biber oyasi, pirpirli and sumbul oyasi) are very hard to find anywhere on the internet. I also have not found any "decent" examples of the Mezar Tasi (Tombstone Oya) or the Cayir Cimen (Meadow Grass Oya) So I guess I'll just have to provide examples of those 2. The Mezar Tasi is quite easy to whip up though, it consists of 5, 6, or 7 increased rows (depending on how big you want them obviously) and then about 5 or 6 non increased rows ( to form a rectangle and then to finish you decrease until you have 1 loop left. Cayir Cimen I have not been able to find an example of so I'm thinking of giving the sources in Turkey (My partners mother ;) ) a call this week to find out how thats done. I'm also thinking of posting the stitch names of oya here aswel, as many people claim that Armenians and Greeks (No offence to either, I'm not Turkish so you can't accuse me of being biased) invented oya and whatever, however many of their books, resources fail to provide names for the stitches. However in Turkish, they do have names! I believe its so much easier to know the stitch names, especially if you're speaking to someone half way around the world whos telling you how to do it using those stitch names! Enjoy the pictures peeps, I'll be back soon! xx
