Around this time of the year I start to crave color like I crave chocolate, potato chips, or coffee! It’s supposed to be spring, but outside, it is relentlessly cold, cloudy and gray. So as an offering to the vernal gods, I created these Bobby Pin Butterflies, wearable bursts of color meant to usher in sunnier times! No creature better manifests pure beauty and color than a butterfly. In fact, a group of butterflies is called a “kaleidoscope”!
To bring this particular kaleidoscope to life I used our new Mariposa Felt Bundle. It is everything that spring should be, pretty, cheerful and luminous! Designed as an adorable hair accessory, these sweeties are also terrific for Easter decorating. And they couldn’t be easier to make.

The Pattern For a cutout style butterfly: All done! How to Make a Travel Mercy. Dear Readers, This is one of those rare posts I promised during the introduction where I will get specific about how I make something. (Note: I'm having trouble fixing the formatting for the pictures at the bottom, but I think you'll be able to understand what they're illustrating...)

I hope these instructions and pictures are helpful. God bless, Matt. Welcome To Knit Purl Hunter! Knitting Keeps You Healthy. Last month I wrote an article called “Why bother knitting a scarf?” Much to my surprise, I received thousands of positive reactions from readers who share my love of homemade, local, and beautiful “slow fashion” items.
Clearly, knitting is being embraced by people from all walks of life who benefit from its peaceful, relaxing repetition. It got me wondering – what’s really going on when people knit? Why is it so tremendously popular? It turns out that knitting has incredible health benefits. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Even professionals are catching on. Keep at it, all you knitters! Knitting Needle Sizing Conventions. How to make sense of Knitting Needle sizes on international and vintage patterns. One of the exciting aspects about looking at knitting patterns on the Internet is that there is access to a massive wide range of different patterns and designs. Not only are these designs and patterns written by designers from around the world, but also there are patterns available on the Internet which were written many years ago, giving a wealth of choice for today’s knitter.
However, as different countries adopt different knitting needle-size descriptions (and countries such as the UK have moved to a metric system) sometimes it can be unclear which needle sizing definitions the instructions are referring to. For instance a vintage knitting pattern might have been written in the UK and therefore uses the old British needle sizes, but this might not be clear from a first glance at the pattern.
