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.

One of my favorite Amigurumi is having a special one of a kind auction.

PlanetJune is moving to South Africa as her husband accepted a job there. June is doing an auction for a one-of-a kind original toy.

I’m auctioning off this sweet little ferret I crocheted, to raise funds so I can buy lots of yarn to take with me when I move to South Africa! (You can’t get any of the yarns I use for amigurumi over there… eek!)

Wouldn’t you like to adopt this little guy? He’s 14” long and crocheted from a soft, fluffy mohair blend. This is a rare opportunity to get your hands on a PlanetJune original!

If you’d like to adopt him, head over to eBay and place your bids. There’s only one bid so far, so you may get a crazy bargain!

If you know any ferret lovers, I’d be grateful if you’d pass on the link to them too :)

Fuzzy Ferret (US $5.00)

June does have a pattern for this sweet little ferret however you won't get the same markings as the one pictured above.

So if you love Ferrets or are a big fan of Planet June's go to the auction site and place a bid. I would love to but I am allergic to mohair. Which is to bad as I would love to have this one of a kind original.

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.
