tiny crochet ball pattern | julie kundhi
It took a few tries until I was satisfied with this pattern. At first, they were coming out too hexagon shaped, so I decided to alternate the increase/decrease placement every other row. That gives the ball a more round shape.
Knit a yoga mat bag
Have you made this? Send your picture to feedback AT canadianliving DOT com and we'll post it in our photo gallery ! I came up with the idea for this knitted yoga mat bag while looking at patterns for knit mesh shopping bags. At the same time, I was getting back into yoga and noticing that you can buy yoga mat bags online for outrageous amounts of money! This lace pattern looks impressive, but it is easy to memorize and knit. The sturdy cotton yarn can be purchased inexpensively at almost any craft store.
HOW TO cut continuous t-shirt yarn | Relevé Design
T-shirt yarn (tarn) is quick and easy to make. It can be used in an endless array of projects. Try to using it in crochet, weaving a bath matt, or making a trendy scarf.

I made this one for Wil when I was pregnant and he's worn it a lot. A LOT. At 6 months it really is a little small for him now. He's still wearing it mind you, but its days are definitely dwindling (especially in the length). Because I couldn't face a future without the yoda, I decided to try and make the next size up by altering the original pattern (available here ). Scroll down for the new pattern.

The best little yarn shop in town
Sheep Skate Yarn and Craft is newly located at 549 High St. in Historic Dedham Square . We moved to a larger location right around the corner next to Dedham Flower Shop. The space is bigger and brighter. I think you'll like the natural light and the high ceilings. Change is good. Now that I have the new spot it means I have room to carry more of Sue's bags and Jens hand dyed and hand spun yarns.
Whit's Knits: Big Snowy Owl - Big Snowy Owl - the purl bee
There's something about owls. Is it their baby-wide eyes? Their mysterious nighttime habits? Or their totemic gumdrop shape? I'm not sure, but owls somehow manage to be simultaneously enigmatic and totally lovable.
Decreases remove stitches, narrowing the knitting. The most common ones you will find in patterns are K2tog (knit two together) and SSK (slip, slip, knit). They're easy, just watch the videos. There are also double decreases, which remove two stitches at once. I don't feature any of these on that decrease page, but you'll find at least one in the Glossary (see, for example, CDD). The sampler below contains both increases and decreases.
