Photo Tutorial Archives | moogly Crochet hooks – for such a simple tool, they inspire endless debate, and often loyalty. Inline vs. non-inline, pencil hold vs knife hold vs whatever it is that person over there is doing – it’s all good. You can buy them in any craft store, most little yarn stores, and even some major retailers… or you can make your own!
Windowsill Sprouting my way through the Winter. My orchids are dark speckled and bruised from the cold. The flowery Lantana shrubs are like coarse twine unraveled in a pile on the ground. The tall ornamental grasses, which I love for their swaying grace, stand in stiff bunches like little scarecrows scattered across the lawn. My herbs…oh, let’s not even go there (I think thyme and cilantro are barely holding on). Then there’s the pile of dead and crispy Christmas trees strewn around the fire pit. My windowsill, on the other hand, is more alive than ever- with lentil sprouts galore! Tricking yourself into thinking its springtime is one way of looking at it, but sprouting lentils is also a great way to add a super fresh, nutrient packed component to a meal or salad. Lentils help cleanse and stimulate the kidneys and adrenal system, strengthen the heart and circulation and increase energy and vitality. You can choose any variety of lentils you want – brown, green or red – but just make sure they are whole, not split or in “dahl” form.

How to make a crochet star | Habitual Homebody I thought for November’s crochet-along project we could make something with stars. A garland, an ornament, anything. Come back around November 27th to link up and share what you made. Here’s an easy tutorial on how to make one! Update: This pattern is written using US terms. Click here to see a UK conversion chart! Star pattern: Start with a magic ring. 15 Dc into the ring.Click here for my video tutorial on how to make a magic ring. Slip stitch to join in top of first DC. SC in third stitch from hook. Skip two stitches. When you get to the last arm of the star, you will slip stitch into the first stitch, then finish off. How to block your stars: You may wish to block your star so the arms stay flat. (Psst, I cheated by using a hairdryer to dry them because I was impatient – my yarn was wool so I wasn’t worried about melting, but acrylic may melt this way- so be careful and maybe test one first). When completely dry, remove the pins and you’re done! Here’s a blocking before and after:
Chain-Chomp This is Chain-Chomp from the Mario Brothers games. I made this because my middle daughter begged me to. LOL. When writing out the pattern for it, I tried to make it as plain as possible, but I'm still learning how to write out patterns for someone other than myself to read, so bear with me. If anything is confusing, please let me know and I'll do my best to explain or change it. If the cube portion of the pattern just isn't working for you, you can always make a cube by crocheting 6 squares that are 3 to 4 inches in size and sew them together to form a cube. Materials: WW black, grey, white and red yarnsG HookSmall amount of white feltThread to match the feltYarn NeedleFiberfil This pattern requires a little more advanced work than most of the patterns I have to date. Gauge isn't really important, but your hook, yarn and natural tension should combine to create a moderately tight stitch. Using black yarn, make two half domes as follows: Rnd 1: 6 sc in magic ring. (6) Using red yarn: Ch 16.
How to Crochet Crochet Hook: I suggest a size H/5.00 mm for beginners. It will be easier for you to use until you get the hang of crocheting. I prefer wooden hooks because they feel smoother, but aluminum work great as well. Yarn: Pick a bright colored, worsted weight yarn. These are the two basic supplies every beginner needs. How to Make a Chain Every crochet project and pattern begins with a foundation chain. Put your hook through the slip knot, holding the hook in your right hand and the yarn and slip knot in your left hand. Note: When you make one chain stitch, it is often called "chain one". How to Single Crochet The single crochet stitch is the shortest stitch in height. Row 1: With the last chain still on your hook, insert the hook into the back ridge of the second chain from hook (the ridge is the piece of yarn under the V-shape).Bring the yarn over the hook, like you did while making the chain, and pull it through the ridge. Row 2: Half Double Crochet Row 1: Chain 11 stitches (loosely). 1. 2. 3.

stencil with freezer paper (harry potter tee) Yes, I am a nerd. I came up with a brilliant idea for a Harry Potter t-shirt and I couldn't resist. "Expecto Patronum!" However, you can make whatever kind of design you want with a freezer paper stencil. It doesn't have to be Harry Potter related. I learned about the joys of freezer paper back in my early college days. Basically, freezer paper is backed with a plastic coating that will stick to soft surfaces when ironed, but it peels off cleanly and easily. To make a sweet t-shirt you will need: paper & pencil a t-shirt an iron a piece of cardboard or poster board fabric paint & brush Start by drawing your design on some regular old paper. My design kept getting bigger, so I taped two sheets together. Next, place your design underneath a sheet of freezer paper and trace it neatly with a sharpie. The marker gives your lines greater width making it easier to cut them out and paint them in later. Now place a piece of cardboard under your freezer paper to protect your table while you cut.

DIY Gold Dipped Glassware I haven’t stopped thinking about Front‘s gold dipped glassware set ever since it circulated through the blogosphere last holiday season. So after recently spotting a tutorial on how to DIY gold dipped stemware, I was inspired to create my own version of these luxurious golden vessels. And of course, just in time for that New Year’s Eve party I’ll be hosting this year! You’ll need:non-toxic gold spray paint (I recommend Krylon)champagne flutes or wine glassespainters tapeplastic or ziplock bag Rip off a 6 inch piece of tape. Bring one side of the tape across the middle of the glass. Bring the other side of the tape across so the two pieces meet at a point. Lightly spray multiple and even coats of paint onto the glass from a couple feet away. Your gold plated champagne flutes are finished! Cheers! (top image from here, rest of images by HonestlyWTF)
