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.

So I came across this post...

Alien and Knight

Zombie Bunny

I love these and they are based upon this pattern on Craftster.com

I love the designs and I think they make great stash buster items.

The original designer designed a Knight, a Father Christmas/Gnome and a Ninja. These are way to cute! check out the pics.

Army of Knights

Army of Knights

Someone suggested the knights would make great chess pieces, something I think I could accomplish. Someelse wondered if they could be made into cat toys, another suggestion I could try as I have 4 cats that love to play. Will post pics if I try either suggestion. will let you know.

Here is a doll I found on Etsy called One Shy Guy Doll and you can own your very own for only $18.00 USD, sorry no pattern it is the finished doll.

One Shy Guy Doll

She has some really cute Nintendo dolls for sale. Hopefully she won't get nailed about the copyright issues.

Coo and Coy Set #1

Coo and Coy Set #2

My own projects that I have been knitting are almost done. I have been knitting Coo and Coy by Anna Hrachovec (aka Mochimochi Land). I lover her quirky designs. Mine are more colorful though. Just need to sew these guys up....Yeah!

I am also knitting the Heart from knitty.com.

Heart

So that is all for now. I hope to have a completed heart in the next day or two. I am thinking of design a kidney next, where proceeds would be donated to the Kidney Foundation of Canada as I am a renal pateient.

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.
