Little Black Owl

Too bad he’s much cuter than scary! This project is a pretty easy one if you can knit in the round on double pointed needles and know how to do basic increases and decreases. The hardest part is the first couple rows that only have a few stitches. If you’ve made my duckling, grumpasaurus or minion you’ll have no problem with it. TARDIS Kindle case.

Who is awesome and so is the Kindle. Bring these two together with the TARDIS Kindle case! Free Pattern – Grumpasaurus. Matt & I have a saying around our house that if one of us is grumpy then we are a Grumpasaurus.

Free Pattern – Grumpasaurus

I’d been batting around the idea for awhile of knitting him up a toy version of the Grumpasaur & came up with this little guy. I thought he was cute enough to share with all of you. This was supposed to be a stocking stuffer for Christmas & then a Valentine’s Day gift but I actually just finished it yesterday. I had to keep starting over to get the shapes I wanted for the body & the tail. Of, course you don’t have to make your dinosaur grumpy, have fun embroidering any expression you want. Grumpasaurus Four size 3 double pointed needles Jo Sharp Classic DK Wool in Pistachio & Moss (less than one ball of each) Black Yarn for embroidery Tapestry Needle polyfil or other stuffing Gauge 6 stitches per inch (gauge is not super important as this doesn’t need to fit anyone. Body:(You are knitting the Grump’s body from the bottom up.)

DIY: crocheted rag rug part 2. Now the fun part!

DIY: crocheted rag rug part 2

Or the tricky explaining part if you're me! Grab one end of the sheet yarn and make a simple slip knot. This is going to be the centre of your rug. Insert your hook into the loop. Pick up the long end of the fabric and loop it once over your hook And pull that loop through the first loop (the slip knot loop) Cup cosey. This is a favorite older pattern of mine.

cup cosey

I used to make these cup cozies and sell them on Etsy, but had such a hard time keeping up with orders and I got so tired of making them over and over that I decided to share the pattern with others. This is a great way to get started with cables. It will demonstrate to you how easy cabling is and will give you lots of practice. When you’re done, it really is the cutest little cup cover ever! Due to popular demand, I’ve revised the pattern to clarify the crochet assembly instructions. A cute little cabled mug cozy of my own design, this project requires both knitting and some simple crochet stitches to assemble the flat knit rectangle into a sleeve with a loop closure. Although I’ve done mine in Lion Brand Cotton Ease, any worsted weight yarn will work. A Note on mug selection: The mug pictured in the pattern is a standard cafe flared top mug in a 10 oz. size, measuring 4″ high and 3.75″ across the top (3.25″ across the bottom). Abbreviations: 1.

A new twist to a knitted dishcloth. Today's a fun one!

A new twist to a knitted dishcloth

Sitting around the dinner table on Mother's Day the conversation turned to craft - as it does - and I was saying how I wanted to make some knitted dishcloths but I didn't have the yarn I wanted. We then played around with the idea of making them with what else but actual dishcloths! Pattern Search Results for "tech vest" Free Knitting Pattern L0607 Cat Headband and Wrist Warmers.

I was having one of those days where you don't want to touch your wips, but you really want to knit.

Simple knitjutsu: Tako Maki

I also, like most knitters, have way too much random yarn lying around. It was like: either deal with it and finish something or make something small and quick. Which in part inspired me to make this TP cozy. I also loved the amigurumi octopus pattern in the Knit .1's winter extras, but personally, I can't crochet to save my life.

Knitting a Quilt

But little bits and bobs of leftover yarn fashioned into knitted shapes are such a smart preservation of those small amounts of luxury yarns you’ve saved. The Beekeeper’s Quilt by Tiny Owls Knits has taken Ravelry by storm. Hundreds, no thousands of projects have been started, swaps have been initiated. It’s even inspired an entire new market area for yarn sellers in the quest for mini skeins to make those sweet little hexipuffs. A knitted quilt has all the best parts of a sewn quilt: it’s a way to collect memorabilia for the crafter. Photo by NancyKnits I’ve been thinking of the different shapes one can create, reminiscent of pieced fabric quilts. Deer Little Fawn: Crochet button pattern. Make your own buttons!

Deer Little Fawn: Crochet button pattern

You can make your own buttons using only yarn, once you get the hang of it they are quick to do. They can then be used for many craft projects, accessories, decorations etc. I have made hair pins and brooches from them in the past. For a smaller button, use a small hook and lightweight yarn.
