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.

Some Christams,I know it's not that time but you can never be to early :) from Hooked on Crochet.

Good Morning Crocheters,

Ho Ho Ho! No, no, no, Christmas is not here yet, but it's never too early to start your gift list. It's always so much fun trying to find the perfect thing for that special someone each Christmas.

My favorite Christmas crochet pattern is this Crochet Christmas Wreath Ornament. It's an easy pattern you can make many of.

Some of My Other Favorite Crochet Patterns:

			Crocheted Candy Cane Wreath You'll love hanging this candy cane wreath up each year around Christmas time. It's a fun pattern that also makes a great gift.

			Christmas Tree Afghan The trees on this afghan really do make it feel like Christmas against the red and green yarns. The design adds great texture.

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.
