Anything Knitted and Crocheted: Soem neat card ideas!

Anything Knitted and Crocheted

Welcome to my blog. I hope to blog about my knitting and crocheting as well as everyday life. The patterns that I post are original and as such there is copyright on them. When they are based on another pattern there is a link to the pattern.

My husband and I adopted a beautiful dog named Leo. He is a dachshund and absolutely adorable! we adopted him on June 23, 2010 and he has become the love of our lives.

I love to share patterns that I find along the way or to talk about some of the neatest designers that are out there today, so I love to post links to the designs or the designers.

So grab a cup a and sit and enjoy the blog.

Soem neat card ideas!

Happy New Year Crafters!

Hopefully you got through the Christmas mayhem unscathed. And now of course, it's time to shop the sales! I love to stock up on the after-Christmas sales, so I can be better prepared for next year.

Head to the craft store for discounted Christmas card supplies. Tis the season for excellent sales.

Here's a few of our fave Christmas card projects:
1. Bleach Technique Card - A beautiful technique that helps highlight colorful stamps and embellishments.
2. Geo Snowman Card - A cute snowman scene in geometric shapes.
3. Christmas Heart and Home - A heartfelt card for those you love.
4. Christmas Joy Card - Jazz this card up with glitter. Make it with the kids, they'll love it.
5. Scrapbook Cover Story - A nostalgic card that tells a Christmas story for your family.

The “Proselytize Knitting” Badge

The “Proselytize Knitting” Badge - A requirement for all Knitting Scouts, the recipient must do his or her bit to present knitting in a positive light, whilst at the same time avoiding all references to “hipness”, grandmothers, and yoga.

I’m always doing my part in this arena whether it’s spoken or written like in this blog. I teach at my local community league, which was a fluke. I am involved in the Alberta Avenue Initiative and was asked to teach both knitting and crochet. I start with dishcloths as it gives the basics.

The “MacGyver” Badge (Level One) - The recipient must demonstrate clever use of a non-knitting tool in a knitting-related scenario. For instance, recipient has used paper clips as stitch markers, or successfully whittled and then utilized bamboo skewers as dpns.

I’ve used all kinds of things as stitch markers when none were available, and have found clever ways of knitting cables without cable needles using skewers.
