This week in our Weekly Wednesday review we take a look at a brand new crochet book, “Round and Round the Crochet Hook” by Emily Littlefair. Keep reading to learn about the book, the author, and to play a little game with Emily!
This post is not just for beginners but we break it down to give all the information that a beginner would need to purchase their first crochet hooks. As with any new craft there is a host of materials that you need to get to work. Luckily for us, crochet only requires a hook, yarn and a pattern. With so many choices for each of these on the market I wanted to make sure that beginners new what they could choose from and understand the differences. In this post I will walk through crochet hook materials.
When working an intarsia knit project you may find that managing your yarn and finishing your project seem a little overwhelming. I have put together a group of video tutorials to show you some tips and tricks along the way with the very talented intarsia designer, and my friend, Anne Berk. This video tutorial will show you how to finish intarsia perfectly. Following along with these videos and you will be ready to tackle you first project, or make your next project a little more polished.
Join Marly Bird and guest Heather and Allison, authors of Unobtainables: Fake Elements, Real Knits, on the Yarn Thing Podcast at 10am MST on Tuesday February 6th. Learn about this awesome book centered around a new periodic table.
WHEW! What a Sunday! I can’t believe all of the fabulous people that joined me this weekend for the 2018 Game Day Mystery Make-Along. You blew my socks off in the amount of people that showed up and the amazing finished projects. I truly hope that you all had fun and look forward to doing this again. Before we put this one in the books I wanted to look back at what went well, what we learned, and most importantly…who WON!
It is the first annual 2018 Game Day Make-Along. This year for the Super Bowl we thought that we would have a little fun and have a mystery make-along. Before the event even started you all blew me away with the number of people that signed up for the event. No matter what team you are rooting for let’s have a great time and make some beautiful pieces!
