This is a busy season for knitters. It’s fun and satisfying to make gifts by hand, but it can be difficult to find patterns that are both quick and suit the intended wearer. This pair of masculine knit hats fits the bill when looking to create gifts for the men in your life.
This cute knitted teddy is a fun project. He looks like he’s wearing a sweater, thanks to the self patterning sock yarn. The construction is seamless and an advanced beginner will have the skills required to make him. All he needs is a little friend!
As you may recall, I spent most of the month of September walking the Camino de Santiago. I took a little knitting project with me. It’s my own version of the Buff, a versatile piece of clothing that can be used to cover your head and neck in multiple ways. The weather was so pleasant…
This month the Creative Craft Bloggers Group is crafting for in the kitchen. Not quite a year ago I created a post about my knitted pan protectors. It was a project designed to use up some of my stash yarn and to try a few new techniques as well. It’s been really popular, but one…
A couple weeks ago I shared a recent work in progress, Kate Oates’ Zagaround Blanket available at Love Knitting. I was working on a deadline as the baby is due in September and sometimes it takes awhile for the mail to get from Spain to the US. Fortunately I finished in good time and the Zagaround was…
Hey there! Were you able to go out and knit in public on Saturday? I’ve been working on the Grrlfriend bag from Ravelry and finished it this weekend. Unfortunately, when I got to the event in Valladolid I found I left my phone on the charger so I was unable to take any photos (D’oh!). At…
Do you knit or crochet? Join millions of knitters from around the world for the annual World Wide Knit In Public Day this Saturday June 18, 2106.
This cute and quick drawstring bag is just the ticket to hold small items like earplugs. It was so much fun to make I worked a second one to hold my loose change! These little bags are just the thing for gift giving…or for stashing your own treasures.
This E-Reader Pillow from Laws of Gravity is a fun project and a great stash buster. You’ll only need a skein of worsted weight yarn and when the project is finished you’ll have something to hold your phone, tablet or e-reader upright while you use it. I love to read in bed but carpal tunnel prevents me…
One thing I’ve learned the past few winters is that a warm scarf makes a huge difference in comfort. This oversized arm knit cowl will be an attractive addition to any winter wardrobe as it covers all the gaps around your neck. There’s no need for knitting needles in this project, you’ll only need your hands (and arms).
Make a set of pan protectors to match your kitchen. This is the the perfect stash busting project. Not only can you experiment with a new stitch or technique, you’ll make something useful. These could also be a gift for that hard to buy for person.
My daughter asked me to make a minion hat for P-Man to wear for Halloween. Thanks to Pinterest I found a couple good patterns from Kriskrafter and Stana’s Critters. They each had their own interpretation for their minion hat and so I picked what I liked about each to make my own version to fit my 6…
