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.

A Snowman Stocking (knit) from Bernat

Happy Holidays from Bernat

Whether you prefer giving or receiving, baking or eating (or both!), this holiday season is one for joining together with our loved ones. It's also a chance to be creative and enjoy the gift -making process. Take some time to make gifts that both you and the recipient will remember. Gifts made with love are special items that are remembered for a long time.

Our Gift to You
Enjoy this beautiful knit stocking pattern, our gift to you this holiday season. Not your traditional stocking, this one has a fun and colorful snowman design, promising an exciting start to your holiday. Make it as-is with Bernat Super Value or incorporate designs and colors inspired by your holiday decor. Don't forget to personalize it by adding the recipient's name. Line them up on the mantle right next to the cookies so Santa can see them and fill them up with goodies galore.

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.
