I have received a couple of emails about crocheted rosaries. Finally I have found a Web site that will have what you want; you can order a pre-made rosary, a kit with everything you need (except the hook, of course), or just the pattern.
I like these kits. They are complete and there is […]
When I read that there was a knitted pink tank on a blog, I went expecting to find a great summer top. I love pink, as you all know. I love to knit - that much is obvious. And tank tops are just the ticket for summer.
I didn’t expect to […]
Do you remember the fold-out photograph in “Knit 1″ that reminded us all of the Burt Reynold’s “Cosmo” layout a few years… er, decades, ago? It became such a popular photo that it was turned into a poster. But I digress. I am not here to discuss half-naked men on bear rugs.
However, […]
Do you like hats? I do too. It may seem the wrong time of year for hats, and in many ways it is, if you are talking wearing them. But knitters and crocheters are always working in the opposite seasons (theoretically), so maybe it is time to think about making quick Christmas […]
I found, through a wonderful podcast, Knitting Newscast, one of the funniest blogs I have ever seen. I went to just take a look. An hour later, I was still surfing around in it. It is called, “You Knit What?” and it is a collection of photographs, and very funny comments, about […]
When you have finished a perfect pair of socks, do you block them? I must admit, I sometimes fudge on that part because I have never found a really good way to block them and have them come out right. There is a solution though and it is easy. Best of all […]
Everyone is celebrating Earth Day today. It is something we should do everyday, but today is the day we acknowledge our home planet and pay tribute by our activities, or in this case our crafts. I found two classic patterns by “Vogue Knitting,” that do this better than any others I have seen. […]
Every now and again, there comes along a pattern in crochet that I would love to make, but I would prefer it knitted. In the back of my mind, I have an afghan pattern that I love - it is all double crochet stitches and there is a scene created through the color changes.
I […]
Fingerless gloves are very popular but not everyone knits. I have heard from some crocheters who would like a fingerless mitt or glove pattern in crochet.
I found one. It is easy and a fast project. If you have hands that chill easily when typing or doing your yarn crafts, consider these as […]
I found a nifty tutorial on a technique for knitting yarn-over short-row toe-up toes on socks. In other words, you can get around grafting the two together at the end if you are used to working cuff down. Try the toe up method - it is a great way to eliminate holes when […]
For the love of knitting, crochet, spoolknitting, spinning and weaving!
