“I Learned To Knit”: Wrap-Up Reflections on BiCrafty Bootcamp from the Marly Bird Team

By Leave a Comment

When we started BiCrafty Bootcamp: Knitting Lessons for Crocheters, we honestly didn’t have any idea what to expect. We knew that Marly Bird team members Cryssi and Kathryn were crocheters who wanted to learn to knit. We knew Marly could use their crochet skills to make learning knitting easier. Plus we had a good guess that other crocheters might be into that, too. So, we set off with a loose plan in place. And now we, along with the 1000+ people who joined us for BiCrafty Bootcamp, can now say, “I learned to knit.” Let’s take a look back at how it went along the way:

I Learned to Knit with Marly Bird's BiCrafty Bootcamp

The BiCrafty Bootcamp Lesson Plan

Here’s what we ended up with between April and today.

Getting Started With Knitting Basics

“I Learned to Knit” started with basics. First, we gave you a couple of guides: Ultimate Guide to Knitting Needles for Beginners and I’m New To Knitting: What Are The Best Needles For Beginners? Then we began with the lessons:

At this point both Cryssi and Kathryn were remembering the joys and challenges of being a beginner again. It was exciting to learn something new with yarn. However, it was tough to get used to the mistakes and slowness of being new at it. Still, both were excited.

Mug Rugs and Coffee Cup Sleeves

These were the first projects we really learned to knit. We did so as we practiced these lessons and skills:

By this point, Cryssi was already able to say, “I learned to knit.” She was moving easily through the projects. Plus, she was excited about the instant gratification of those small projects. Kathryn was having a tougher time, but this was when she realized that she knits a lot easier on straights than circulars.

How to Knit a Cowl in the Round

This was when we started what would become our first knit accessories set. We began with the knit cowl.

This was about the stage where Cryssi and Kathryn began to diverge. Both found it hard to switch to working in the round. But Kathryn still hasn’t quite gotten the hang of it so at this point she kind of diverged and just began knitting more as occupational therapy and less in line with the camp’s schedule. Cryssi had a bumpy start on the cowl. However, midway through, she really felt like she was getting it. Although she could’ve said it before, this was where she personally felt she could say, “look, I learned to knit.”

How to Knit a Hat in the Round

At this point the BiCrafty Bootcampers could definitely say, “I learned to knit.” But we weren’t done, yet. It was time to knit a hat with these lessons:

In month three, Kathryn continued watching the videos and writing up the blog posts. At least she could absorb as much information as possible even if she wasn’t knitting a lot yet. Cryssi had trouble with her hat. It wasn’t easy. However, she eventually got there. This goes to remind us that there are ebbs and flows in every learning process. That’s why you’re learning; because you don’t already know. The mistakes you make are helpful because then you better understand how to do more right.

How to Knit Mittens in the Round

Finally, we wrapped up our set with a pair of beautiful knit mittens.

Remember that the links to the instructional live videos can be found here or directly on YouTube.

Final Wrap-Up Thoughts from Kathryn and Cryssi

Despite not making it too far, Kathryn feels proud of the knitting skills she gained. She can knit and purl on straights, which means she can say, “I learned to knit.” She can also knit on circulars. So, she’ll get there. Overall, she was thrilled to be a part of bootcamp. Her biggest passion is crafting as therapy and she learned a lot about knit therapy through the process. Plus she really loves the Marly Bird community and was happy to be active in the live video chats whenever she could.

One of the things Cryssi realized when talking to someone else about making the knit mittens was that she’s beyond being able to say, “I learned to knit.” The BiCrafty Bootcampers who made it to this stage are really advanced beginners at this point, if not intermediate knitters. If you’re one of them, don’t be afraid to tackle the knit versions of Marly’s upcoming stitchalongs as well as her excellent body of free knitting patterns.

Asked for some wrap-up thoughts, Cryssi said, “I’m just amazed that five months ago I had no idea what I was doing and now I’m an “intermediate knitter.” The weekly challenges from Bootcamp are the only reason I’ve achieved what I have. If I had not stuck with it, then I would have been really upset with myself! I’ve wanted to learn to knit for years. I’m so grateful I finally got to do so with the guidance and leadership from Marly.”

BiCrafty Bootcamp Sponsors

Cryssi also wanted to say, “I can’t thank the sponsors enough for their gracious donations and support.” They gave knitting needles to our team. Moreover, they gave us some good giveaway prizes to let other Bootcampers try their stuff, too. We got such a variety from them. We did reviews for each; here they are in very brief summary:

  • Signature Needle Arts Review. With a stiletto point that cuts through yarn like a hot knife through butter, these are a must-have. We also like the storage tubes their DPNs come in.
  • ChiaoGoo Knitting Needles. Kathryn loved the bamboo straights. As a beginner Cryssi also liked the bamboo, and she enjoyed working with the interchangeable circulars. We all loved the storage that the supplies came in.
  • Jimmy Beans Wool SmartStix Interchangeables. Cryssi loves the ingenious design which includes a measuring tape built directly into the needle.
  • Prym. Knitting needles come in such a variety of materials. The plastic of Pryms worked really well for Kathryn; faster than bamboo but not as slick as metal. The team also likes the unique teardrop hook that makes it easy to pick up the yarn when knitting.

By the end of Bootcamp, lots of people said that they were as obsessed with buying knitting needles as they were with buying yarn! So, we created a guide for all your options for how to store knitting needles.

Look Out for BiCrafty Bootcamp: Crochet Lessons for Knitters!

BiCrafty Bootcamp part one has come to an end. If you didn’t keep up with all the lessons, they’re still there for you to work with (for now!) However, we aren’t stopping here on the Marly Bird team. Come September, we’re launching BiCrafty Bootcamp: Crochet Lessons for Knitters. All the newbie knitters from the first bootcamp are welcome to join in for crafting along each week. Plus we hope to make lots of other knitters BiCrafty with these lessons. More from us soon!

Learn How to Crochet: The First Five Things You Need to Learn When You First Start to Crochet

By Leave a Comment

So, you want to learn how to crochet? Where should you begin? There are a lot of things that you’re going to need to learn eventually. You’ll need to learn about yarn weights and fibers, crochet hook sizes, and more. But in terms of basic stitches, there are five things you need to learn when you first start to crochet. What’s interesting is that after you’ve learned the first two, you basically know how to crochet. The next three are essentially variations on those. And with that, you’ll be able to crochet blankets, scarves, and so much more. So, in terms of first techniques and basic stitches, here are the first five things you want to learn how to crochet.

beginner crochet stitches

How to Slip Knot and Make Your Foundation Chain

In order to start a crochet project, you have to first get the yarn onto your hook. There are different ways of doing this. However, the most common method is to make a slip knot. You place the knot on the hook. Then you crochet a chain. If you can do this, then you’ve begun to learn how to crochet.

How to Crochet the Single Crochet Stitch

The single crochet stitch is the most basic, simple crochet stitch. Take the time to learn how to work this stitch, because the essential steps of working it are going to apply to almost every other stitch you ever make in crochet.

How to Crochet the Double Crochet Stitch

The double crochet stitch is worked very similar to the single crochet stitch. However, it’s double the height. That’s where the name comes from. Just like with the single crochet, you’re going to use the techniques of “yarn over” and “pull through loops”. You just use them slightly differently to get that higher height.

How to Half Double Crochet

As you may guess by the name, this stitch is halfway between the single crochet stitch and the double crochet stitch in height. You’ll pull the yarn through a different number of loops to achieve this effect. But the time that you’re this far in learning how to crochet, you’ll start to get a really good sense of stitch anatomy.

How to Make The Treble Crochet Stitch

Finally, we’ll complete your beginner crochet stitches with the treble crochet stitch. Using the same foundational methods, you’ll make a stitch that’s taller than the double crochet stitch. As you can see, you can do a lot when learning to crochet even by just learning a few really basic things.

What You Can Do With This Knowledge

With the “learn how to crochet” skills from the videos above, you can now work in rows. This means that you’ll be able to crochet anything that is square or rectangular. At this stage, you’ll want to work one stitch into one stitch. You’ll probably also want to work the same stitch across the whole row.

For example, you might crochet a foundation chain that’s 20 stitches long.

Then you might turn the work and make one single crochet into each of those twenty chains.

You could continue to work 20 single crochet stitches across the row until you have a square or rectangle the length that you desire. This might be a crochet mug rug, for example.

Alternatively, you might work 20 double crochet stitches as a row, or twenty half double crochet stitches. The only thing that you need to know differently for each of those rows is how many stitches to make each turning chain. Which is why you also need this information:

With this knowledge you can crochet anything square or rectangular. Make crochet scarves, blankets, square shawls, placemats, dishcloths, etc.

What’s Next In Learning How to Crochet

Obviously, when you learn how to crochet you want to learn lots of different things. There are a lot of different stitch patterns and crochet techniques to learn. You’ll also want to learn how to work with different stitches in the same row (single crochet, double crochet, across a row, for example.) Plus you’ll want to know how to change colors in a project. Moreover, you’ll want to learn how to increase and decrease rows to create different shapes besides the rectangle or square. Finally, you’ll want to learn how to crochet in the round, rather than just in rows.

But these five stitches (chain, single crochet, double crochet, half double crochet, and treble crochet) give you a very solid foundation when you first learn how to crochet. Then you can take it from there. Check my YouTube channel for lots more instructional videos to take it further.

Signature Needle Arts Knitting Needles Review

By Leave a Comment

We were so lucky to have so many terrific knitting needle sponsors for BiCrafty Bootcamp. After all, we wanted to show all the new knitters the many different options out there. Most of them started out not even knowing about different types of knitting needles, let alone which brands might be best. We got to use a different brand every month, wrapping everything up this past month with Signature. So, here’s our Signature Needle Arts review. (Although if you’ve been following along with BiCrafty Bootcamp then you already know that we LOVE these knitting needles.)

Signature Knitting Needles

The Stiletto Point

What sets Signature Needle Arts apart from the rest is their design of the stiletto point for their knitting needles. It’s a sharper point that allows for such great ease of knitting. In fact, this company formed when the President of a family-owned machine shop called Bothe Associates Inc, who also happened to be a knitter, asked, “why can’t I have better needle points?” Then they decided to make them. The company grew from there. In the chat portion of the final live video chat for BiCrafty Bootcamp, we were joking (kinda, not really) about how we’d rather have stiletto needle points than stiletto heels. They make the knitting go fast and smooth.

But They Have Other Point Options, Too

All of the experienced knitters in BiCrafty Bootcamp seemed to love those stiletto points. And Marly is one of Signature’s biggest fans. But it’s important to note that their needles come with other point options as well. Why does that matter? Well, for example, BiCrafty Bootcamper and Marly Bird team member Kathryn has been slow to pick up knitting and still finds the ease of the stiletto point just a bit too fast for her hands. So it’s good to know that some of the their knitting needles also come in “Middy” and “Blunt” points.

Signature Needle Arts Review DPNs 2

Types of Signature Arts Knitting Needles

The company has everything you might want including straights (single points), double points (DPNs), and Circulars.

Single Points

Signature’s set of single point needles ranges in size from 1/2.25MM-10/6.0MM. You also have a variety of options to choose from:

  • Knitting needle length: 7″ or 10″ or 14″
  • Needle point type: stiletto, middy, or blunt
  • Knitting cap type (the end opposite the needle): shaped as bell, spiral, or tear
  • Option to monogram!

That’s right – you can monogram your Signature Knitting Needles. This is great for inspirational phrases, intentional crafting with a message, gifts, putting your name on your needles, and more.

DPNs

A set of DPNs from Signature ranges from 01/2.25MM-06/4.0MM. Each set includes five needles. One of the things the Marly Bird team loved was having each set arrive in its own tube, making it easy to keep the sets together without anything getting lost. Choices you have for Signature DPNs:

  • Knitting needle length: 4″, 5″, 6″ or 8″
  • Note that they are all stiletto points except the 4″ which combine stiletto and blunt
  • Option to monogram

Circulars

Signature Convertible Circular Knitting Needles Set are interchangeable circulars. They range in size from 03/3.25MM-10/6.0MM. Options include:

  • 4″, 5″ or 6″ needle length or “stalks”
  • 16″, 20″, 24″, 32″, 40″ or 47″ overall length with cables (note that not all sizes are available for all stalk lengths)
  • Stiletto tip or middy tip
  • Option to monogram

High-End Signature Arts Knitting Needles Review: Worth the Investment

It’s true that Signature Needle Arts knitting needles tend to be on the high end as far as price goes. But their quality is well worth it. Of course, not everyone can afford them, and that’s okay. It’s okay to knit with whatever you can get your hands on. But if you have a little bit of money to treat yourself – or a crafting friend – to something special then our Signature Needle Arts review is: GET THEM.

Signature Needle Arts Review

Cryssi’s Signature Needle Arts Review

BiCrafty Bootcamper, Marly Bird team member and now-knitter Cryssi says her Signature Needle Arts review is: “slices through yarn like a hot knife through butter.” She really loves working with these, says they are “such a dream” to use. Moreover, she is excited to be at the stage of knitting where she can use them comfortably.

Kathryn’s Signature Needle Arts Review

Although Kathryn might not be at the knitting level where she works quickly with the metal needles, she doesn’t deny that she’s lucky to own a set. First of all, they’re beautiful. Displaying them makes her want to improve her knitting. Second, she loves the storage tubes the DPNs came in. And finally, she can see that they’re of great quality.

Exciting New Yarn O’Go ~ Tangle-Free, Revolutionary New Yarn to Simplify Your Knitting and Crochet

By Leave a Comment

It’s always exciting to get the chance to try out a new yarn. O’Go Yarn is particularly exciting because it comes in an entirely new shape that changes the game. Of course, we all know that yarn comes in balls, skeins, hanks, cones, cakes … and often if things don’t go right those turn into big tangles of yarn barf. Well, both knitters and crocheters can rejoice because yarn barf is a thing of the past, at least when it comes to O’Go Yarn.

You can buy O’Go Yarn on Yarnspirations right now.

What Is This New Yarn O’Go All About?

The thing that you need to know about O’Go is that it’s not actually new yarn. Instead, it’s a new way of getting your yarn to you. It’s your favorite yarn that you already buy from places like Yarnspirations. It’s just delivered to you in a new, revolutionary, smarter way.

O’Go is a donut or ring of yarn. For example. you’ll be able to get Bernat Blanket yarn, which you might already love, in this revolutionary new format. It’s the same great blanket yarn, but it’s wound into this new O’Go form. And that keeps it tangle-free.

You pull it from the outside. (Although you could use it like a center-pull yarn, it’s designed for you to pull it from the outside.)

Which Yarn Will Come in the O’Go Form?

As aforementioned, it’s some of your favorite yarn just delivered to you in a new way. You’ll be able to get O’Go for:

  • Bernat Blanket
  • Red Heart Super Saver
  • Caron Big Donut
  • Caron Colorama

So you’ll get four of Yarnspirations most popular yarns available as the O’Go format.

More About the O’Go Format

The yarn design team sat down to solve knitters’ and crocheters’ most common yarn complaint: yarn barf. How can we take the yarn we love and make it tangle-free? That’s how they came up with O’Go. It’s not yarn wrapped around a foam core or a cardboard donut or anything like that. Instead, it’s an entirely new shape for wound yarn. It’s not a ball, it’s not a skein, it’s an O’Go.

It’s especially great for beginner knitters and crocheters. I like to say that you can just “O’Go and Flow.” In other words, you pull on the yarn, and it comes out easily – tangle-free. You don’t ever have to put your needles or hook down to tug on tangled yarn. Therefore, you easily keep working on your project. Obviously, experienced crafters who have had to deal with a lot of yarn barf over the years will also appreciate this.

How Can I Work With O’Go Yarn?

The yarn is designed so that you have an array of different colors in one O’Go. You can work it from end to end and you’ll have a self-striping yarn. However, that’s not your only option. You can separate out the colors as well. Therefore, you can easily use this yarn to play with knit and crochet colorwork.

Each yarn comes in multiple colorways. For example, Caron Colorama O’Go has 12 different colorways. But each O’Go then also has different colors within that. It’s designed so that you can separate out each color super easily, allowing you to work them in the order that you want for your project. Alternatively, just O’Go and Flow from beginning to end.

How Much Yarn Will I Get?

This is an affordable yarn and you get a lot of bang for your buck. For example, the Bernat Blanket yarn is a #6 bulky weight yarn. You get 300 grams, which is 220 yards of yarn, in one O’Go. That’s a lot of yarn for such a bulky weight.

Similarly, Caron Colorama is a #5 bulky weight yarn. In that O’Go, you’ll get 180 grams or 228 yards of yarn.

The Red Heart Super Saver and the Caron Big Donut are both #4 worsted weight yarns. So, you have a bit of a variety for working with this yarn.

When and Where Can I Get This Awesome New Yarn?

You can find O’Go at JOANN and Michaels stores. You can also buy it online at Yarnspirations!

Keep an eye out here as well as on my YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram for more announcements including patterns for using this yarn.

Revolutionary New Yarn O’Go Format: Full Review

As soon as I was allowed to tell you about this new yarn O’Go, I hopped online to share it with you. Here’s my full review. You’ll see all about how it works including different methods of storage for this new yarn:
