猫眼盘长   cat's eye pan chang/mystic   also hollow

万字双攀缘   siamese sauvastika knots
双攀缘   siamese creeper knot butterfly
挂牌链   absolutely unique badge lanyard      sideways double connection sinnet, fancy 8 petal cloverleaf/octagonal flower ear variant and hollow heart pan chang/mystic with 4 petal cloverleaf/square flower detail!
五福双钱变化   ok, the translation on this one is "5 part fridge magnet" which is kind of an injustice.  My interpretation is 5 petal double coin mat with star heart variant.  It's a variant because the "vanilla" mat is a broken link, but I'm thinking mifor means this   Referencing further, the "basic" knot is a pentagonal variant of the ten accord knot, so named because it is a Ms. Chen thought it was a cruciform shape.  So if we really wanted to muddy the waters, we could call it the "star accord knot"  8)
酢浆变团锦   bicolour cloverleaf variants      a second colour is interlaced through a variety of cloverleaf knots, except in the first case, the second colour is basically a second cloverleaf knot that interpenetrates the first providing the second colour and overlapping ears.   
六瓣花发夹   this translates as "six flower hairpin".   As the cross knot is the first part of a 4 strand crown sinnet tied in one cord, this is basically a 6 strand crown ... net   
团锦变化胸针   6 three petal cloverleaf/triangular flower knots merged into a single knot with a a star (of david) heart
双冰花蝴蝶   ok, this is officially a "two ice flower combo".  There are links on the page for all the sub parts except for the 4 petal ice flower.
2*2连体冰花   2x2 grid of 4 petal ice flowers
4x4连体冰花   4x4 grid of 4 petal ice flowers
双冰花攀缘蝴蝶   broken link 8(      It's supposed to be a siamese ice flower butterfly
冰花V字组合   broken link again      It's supposed to be 'V' shaped ice flower combination
金盏菊挂饰   machine translates as "marigold" which is good, because otherwise it would be hexagonal plafond, two creeper knots merged with a 4 petal ice flower and merged twin orthogonal creeper knots thingie
太阳花小磬结   broken link      it is supposed to be a small chime sunflower knot.  so the sunflower knot is a variant of the ice flower knots.  I'm thinking this is the sunflower knots arranged in a stone chime shape like the purple one here
太阳花A,B应用   broken link      it is supposed to be sunflower A and B "application"...  I dunno, here's a big page of sunflower knot variants...
富贵回菱   broken link   particularly useless machine translation, but when I put the Chinese into google (with knot at the end) I get a picture from a vendor site http://b2b.hc360.com/supplyself/33755641.html
富贵十字磬结   broken link      something about double coins, cross knots and stone chimes, maybe   
几款冰花简图   the schematics for a host of ice flower projects including a few stone chime shaped ones.
套色冰花基础--有轴冰花   ice flower heart on carrier cords
花贴   "flower sticker"      this one is 8 ice flower hearts on carrier cords that form an 8 petal cloverleaf/octagonal flower knot to make a complicated flower... pin I guess
马蹄莲   calla lily petals made from a square woven mat that I should know the name of, but it's not coming to mind at the moment.
玫瑰花   a rose assembled from a button knot, a carrick mat, and pentagonal and hexagonal variants of the carrick mat (turks heads?)
一线鼠   a zodiac rat made from the 3 petal cloverleaf/triangular flower, a double connection/two strand matthew walker, and a round turn
女娃娃   a doll's skirt made from a turks head of some kind.  no instructions here, just text and measurements
迷你相框   "Heart-shaped mini photo frame production process"
花箍结      5B4L turks head?
菠萝      a more literal pineapple knot made of a turks head of some kind and leaves that are sadly indistinct despite being step by step process photos.  that or my eyes and brain are tired.  8)
亲亲小花篮   flat woven flower basket
花框边圈编法   "flower box edge"   make 4 larks heads around a hoop and take their loop protrusions, weave them together just so and run an extra cord through to hold them, edging.
菊花   larks head sinnet chrysanthemum
小青   overview of making a snake with a pan chang/mystic head and phoenix tail body
杯垫   "coaster"   5 side-joined double coin/carrick bend knots ring/mat
