DIY Easy Norwegian House Slippers (the crochet version by Mommyknows) | Kim Becker {aka MommyKnows} Last week after Craftzine so kindly put my Candy Sushi post up on their site, I found this nifty tutorial for Norwegian house slippers over there as well. I loved them, and the crafty side of me, that I try so very hard to suppress, just came bubbling to the surface. I was going to make these slippers! There were a few problems though … I didn’t have the right weight of yarn –> Ah, to heck with that, I’ll just make do with what I do have, as long as it’s wool and will felt … who cares right? So once again, I was making a craft and following none of the instructions! My materials: 3 colours of wool yarn (suitable for felting) (4 weight, I think) 1 crochet needle (mine is a size 5 from Lizzy’s Klutz kit) I did the whole pattern in single crochet. Sizing: according to the instructions you need 16 stitches across to make a size 5, but her yarn looked pretty thin compared to mine and the stitches more loose. I was careful to make sure all my squares were the same size.

Free Craft eBooks - FaveCrafts.com Easiest Beginner Knit Hat Pattern Ever| The Any Size, Any Yarn, Any Needle Hat When I started teaching knitting and crochet I wanted to give my students something they could work on besides a scarf. I think 90% of us made a scarf for our first projects but after making one scarf, you don’t always feel confident enough to tackle a more difficult pattern so you get hung up on creating scarf after scarf. I created the “Any Size, Any Yarn, Any Needle Hat” instructions for just that purpose but I soon learned that even experienced knitters loved them for their ease of use and because you can make hats in a variety of different styles and stitches that fit perfectly every time. Instead of being made to size from a pattern, these hats are made to measure. Basically, you are just knitting a long rectangle, so no advanced skills are necessary. To start, you will first need to take some measurements: Measuring Your Head Measure the circumference of the head and the depth of the crown as shown in this image. Men: 22″ circumference, 8″ crown

Garden art on the cheap DIY: Glass marbles in your fence | Garden Drama Colorful marbles make a plain old fence sparkle. I had the pleasure of speaking at the Lake Owasso Garden Club this week. It was a full classroom of avid, fun-loving gardeners and the topic at hand was Art in the Garden. As I told the group, I think art and the garden go together like peas and carrots and as I prepped my talk, I was reminded of one of my favorite DIY project from my own garden, the Garden Drama test garden. Festooning a six foot privacy with marbles is addictive fun that really adds a pop and punch to the garden setting, especially when the sun hits it from the back. I would recommend using new marbles. Then go to town. I lose a marble or two over the winter from the wood contracting and expanding and maybe a couple over the summer, but a little vigilance, popping them back in is all that’s needed. Beware though, once you get going on this one, you will want to be be-dazzling your entire fence. Like this: Like Loading...
Easy Patterns You Can Knit While Watching TV We’ve all been there: you’re dying to knit, but you’re also dying to watch the latest episode of your favorite TV show. Our free time is precious, so combining two of our favorite pleasures makes sense. But if you don’t choose the right knitting project, bad things can happen. It’s impossible to focus on what’s happening on The Walking Dead while you shape a sleeve. Here’s what to look for when choosing a knitting pattern to work on while watching TV, plus a few pattern suggestions to help you out. Photo via Craftsy member ambah obrien What kinds of patterns to look for Avoid a pattern that requires counting rows or stitches. There’s no way you’re going to be able to focus on counting while also watching good-looking actors and actresses or even a fast-paced drama. Keep the shaping simple. Shaping usually means looking down to make sure you’re knitting increases and decreasing without losing any extra stitches. Stick with one-color patterns. That means no fancy colorwork, knitters!
Color Theory 101: selecting yarns that go together A lot of patterns going around at the moment feature stripes: two or three colors that go together perfectly. You could follow the colors suggested in the pattern sample… but you want to try something a little different. But how in the world do you pick a colors that go together? Most yarn lines contain a wide range of of colors. Whoa! But don’t fret. It’s not all of the yarns, of course! Most yarn companies design their colors of yarn with compatibility in mind. Fortunately, there’s a name for the art of picking colors that go together: color theory. There are three color schemes that, if followed, will create knock-your-socks-off color combos: analogous, complementary and split complementary. Analogous Analogous colors are the ones that are next to each other on the color wheel: This scheme can work with any number of colors… pick two that are next to each other, three or four! Complementary I love using complementary colors. Split Complementary See… it’s not so bad? Related
