How Many Did You Say?
Saturday, July 26th, 2008I’ve just found a site with an incredible list of 500 links to free knitting patterns for using up those small bits of leftover yarn. It looks like so much fun. Go over to Simple Knits and plan to spend lots of time there. Vicki’s set up doesn’t allow comments except by Google people. I tried. […]
Never Not Knitting
Saturday, July 26th, 2008Knit A Little More has posted a cute item from YouTube titled Never Not Knitting. Check it out for a chuckle. I wonder how many of us can identify with that.
Clothmaker, Clothmaker, Make Me A Cloth
Saturday, July 19th, 2008I’ve joined a Yahoo group called Clothmakers. I’m really enjoying all the fantastic knitted and crocheted dishcloths and facecloths. On the first of each month, there’s a crochet along of a cloth and on the fifteenth, there’s a knit along. There’s an added bonus that keeps a person working feverishly on those cloths. You won’t […]

Bags and More Bags
Saturday, July 5th, 2008This is still a hot topic. Sew, Mama, Sew! put up a tutorial for the classic tote a few days ago. More people are finding ways to make stylish bags for grocery shopping.

Some of the support group have completed over 50 pairs each. Wow! That’s a lot of knitting and crocheting. Check out Knitting Nonni for a picture of […]

Seamless Saturday
Saturday, June 14th, 2008I won’t be making any seams today. I’ll be spending the day at the farm, but I do have a knitting question for you. It seems that no matter how many years I work at it, I hate to sew up the seams when I knit or crochet. It just doesn’t get easier or better. […]
It’s Disappearing
Saturday, May 31st, 2008Women’s Clothing Month at Sew, Mama, Sew! is almost over. You can find the last part of the vintage smock sew along here. Sew Mama also has tutorials on how to make pleats, including a pleated collar and how to set in sleeves. Another very helpful site I’ve found for pattern alterations and other techniques is […]
