Every year, when Father's Day nears, you probably scramble to find the perfect gift for that special man. If your dad is anything like mine, he's not one for frilly gifts or cheesy cards. He much prefers something that he can actually use. That's why I've gathered this list of more than ten perfect knit and crochet gift ideas for Dad! These patterns are all easy to follow. They'll definitely come in handy for the dad who spends time in the office or loves to be outdoors.
Walking into someone's home can tell you a lot about that person. You can see their style and what they like from the first room that you enter. A home can tell you what that person holds dear to their heart through pictures and decorations. As yarn lovers we can make our own crochet decorations to show our love for our craft as well.
Thank you to everyone who participated this year in the 2018 Knit A-long. This year we made our first pair of knit socks together. It was a big undertaking but you really stepped up and made some beautiful pairs of knit socks. Rather than just let the end of the KAL pass us by I wanted to pull out some of the finished socks and show them off.
We've all started our fiber journey for one reason or another, and when we start, we are all beginners. There's nothing wrong with that. We all have to start somewhere. Just as we learned to walk and talk as young kids, we have the same thing going on when learning a new craft. One of the important things to me is giving beginner crocheters as much help as possible when they first start. I want to ensure that people succeed with their crochet projects and keep falling ever more in love with the yarn industry. In my video tutorial today, I'll demonstrate how to crochet the Absolute Beginner Crochet Throw – a FREE crochet throw pattern from Red Heart.
Come learn along with me. I promise it'll be easy!
