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.

Knitthacker has this on there website...

Custom Crocheted Raptor Skeleton

Description

Featured is a 100% acrylic custom crocheted raptor-esque dinosaur skeleton measuring about 4' tall x 6ish' long. The image is only an example of the finished product. The buyer can specify what sort of dinosaur skeleton they want and I will crochet it for them in whatever color they request. The pricing on this item is for a skeleton of this basic size. If a larger size is desired, it would be better to contact me so we can set up a special order as the larger size would necessitate a higher price. Also, I am continually trying to improve the internal structure of my pieces, but as it stands a piece this size requires external means of support. The piece pictured is attached to the ceiling in three places via monofilament. Keep this in mind before ordering.

Cost: $500, more if want one bigger than this one.

Check out knittingneedle's including a very cute "adult" pillow.

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.
