Anything Knitted and Crocheted: From Lily Surgar and Cream...

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.

From Lily Surgar and Cream...

Thinking Spring
It is officially spring! The sun is out (or at least it should be), and the colors of spring are everywhere. Spring is a time for rebirth and renewal, when we're reminded of the cycle of life and the beauty of nature. In honor of spring and of Earth Day, download and crochet this endearing Mother Nature doll. Even if you need rainboots and umbrellas on hand to handle the April Showers, you can keep this sunny lady at your side for a quick pick-me-up. She also makes a great gift for co-workers and friends to celebrate the season. Whether you love spring cleaning or not, there's something very satisfying about cleaning from top to bottom once a year. You can be good to your wallet and the environment by using Lily® Sugar'n Cream® for many of your cleaning needs. From dishcloths to keyboard dusters to mop covers, enjoy these fantastic free downloads and kick start your spring cleaning.

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.
