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.

I have been entering some contests and not winning...

however in the last week I won two different contests, one was saplanet originals and the other was Stitch Diva Studios Random Friday, where I won Margaret Hubert's Freeform crochet video. In this contest I had to guess the closest number. I am not a suspicious person so I guessed 666, which ended up being the closest number.

Cost is 29.00 USD

Saplanet Originals Marry Me Pattern

Starting at: S$9.25

These four simple words – "Will You Marry Me?", seem easy to read off the script, but when it comes to the real deal, it may be the most nerve-wrecking words you have to say. This is however, one of the most important gateway into a wonderful new journey with the very special significant other.

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.
