Sempervivum is a genus of about 40 species of flowering plants in the Crassulaceae family, known as houseleeks.
Other common names include liveforever and hen and chicks. They are succulent perennials forming mats composed of tufted leaves in rosettes.
In favourable conditions they spread rapidly via offsets, and several species are valued in cultivation as groundcover for dry, sunny spots.
The genus Sempervivum is easy to recognize, but its species are often not easy to identify.
Even one single clone can look very different under various growth conditions (modifications) or different times of the year. The members of this genus are very similar and closely linked to each other. As a consequence, many subspecies, varieties, and forms were described, without well-defined limits between them.
As a second consequence, there is a high frequency of natural hybrids in this genus and the possibility of back-crossings of these. However, more or less 40 species can be individualized in the whole area of the genus, but there are many more local populations, without nomenclatural valour but sometimes with their own characters.
Sempervivum tectorum
In the Alps, for example, the most distributed species are Sempervivum tectorum (common houseleek, sometimes called Sempervivum alpinum), Sempervivum montanum (mountain houseleek) and Sempervivum arachnoideum (cobwebbed houseleek), each one with several subspecies. More local are the yellow-flowered S. wulfenii and S. grandiflorum, and the beautiful limestone houseleek (S. calcareum).
More rare are S. dolomiticum and mainly S. pittonii. S. pittonii is a small yellow-flowered jewel growing only on two mountains slopes near Kraubath in the Mur valley in Austria and is very threatened.[citation needed]
On roofs or old walls S. tectorum can be found, more or less wild, very far out of its natural area. It is a very old medicinal and witch-plant. Some superstitious people believe this plant is able to protect a house from lightning.
I received some beautiful yarn for Christmas. It asked of me something different, this yarn.
You see, I have crocheted afghans and scarves and hats and thread projects for my extended family for over twenty years...but I always use simple yarn or thread and combine it with intricate patterns or I buy a little fancier yarn for the simple hats I make...
...but this yarn is different. It is woven so beautifully, combining bits of different colors...calling upon me to use a simple pattern so that I didn't detract from the coolness woven into the yarn. So, I came up with this purse or bag or whatever one might call it... made to perfectly fit my purse or bag or whatever one might call it needs.
I like it.

Clover trousers by Colette Patterns

This scan includes my stocking pattern and the pattern that Fritz provided on the ED forum (for comparison). Fritz's pattern was meant for one way stretch fabric and I've only made mine with fabric that has stretch in both directions.
My pattern is very roughly based on the stockings that came with Alice. Both Alice and those stockings were made by Marina Bychkova.
This pattern is on 1/4 inch graph paper. I'm sorry the ruler's a bit hard to read. It was the only one I could find in my house that had both metric and inches on it.
My pattern is free to use for any non-commercial purpose. Fitz's pattern is not mine, so you'll need to ask for permission to use it for anything non-trivial.
If you make stockings from my pattern please send me a picture! :)
Pattern that I created. Feel free to download it for personal use only. If you're interested in commercial use, please get in touch with me: elsammora@gmail.com
