Embossed Diamonds Embossed Diamonds Frequently Answered Questions, added Oct 25, 2011: An M1 is Make 1, which means to take the little strand that connects the stitch you just knitted to the one coming up next and twist it to make a stitch. This adds one stitch without the hole a yarnover would give it. Ssk means to slip a stitch as if you were going to knit it, slip the next one likewise, and then put the needle tip into the fronts of them from the left and knit them together that way. This makes a good mirror image of the height and slant made by knitting two together. As for how much yarn to use: it varies tremendously, depending on weight of yarn, knitting gauge, and how big you want it. Note that this is more akin to a lace pattern than a cabled one: there are no overlapping stitches to help create the three-dimensional look, so the pattern will tend to flatten out once it’s wet, as lace does. Have fun! Needles: size 10 for body, size 8 for beginning and ending ribbing.
Knit a Square, Send Some Love Have you ever thought that by simply knitting a square you might help a child, orphaned by AIDS? Yes, you can! You can make a big difference to an African child's everyday with just as little as some stash yarn and a hook or needle. There are an estimated 1.9 million AIDS orphans in Sub-Saharan Africa. 500 children a day are made orphans by the combined ravages of AIDS and poverty. Most of them are left to fend for themselves in shanty towns. Governments and charity organizations do what they can, but it is not enough. My lovely friend Laurie over at Kitty's Fiber Journey brought this to my attention. Why squares? Because they can be easily connected to each other and turned into blankets. How you can help Knit/crochet a 8” (20 cm) square and send it to Laurie. Also, don't forget to grab her button and post it on your blog to help spread the word! All you need to do is knit. Turn your passion into warmth and care for someone on the other side of the world. Me?

I was inspired to create this super simple crochet version - aka the fastest little project ever! Like a fifteen minute baby shower gift here folks and under five big ones too! If you don't crochet this would be the perfect first project to get you started! All you need are some mitten or suspender clips a crochet chain about 18" long a crochet flower I used this easy tutorial HERE and a button. After you make an 18-20" row of chain stitches you want to fasten it off and then fold the long piece in half so that the two end tails are together. Now to fasten the flower your going to want to bring one of the long tails from the chain piece through the center hole of the flower and then up through the shank of the button.
Spiderman I AM HAVING COMPUTER PROBLEMS, PLEASE SEND ANY QUESTIONS TO ME AT; gaile1944@yahoo.com THANK YOU. Superhero Dreamcatcher Afghan - Especially for Spiderman fans Copyright 2006 - Gail E and Wendy G Each of these afghans have had different numbers of rounds in red and blue. I do not follow a strict rule of how many rounds of each color, nor how many bands of red or blue to make. They are approximately 53 inches across. The base pattern for this afghan is found at Please take a look at Lyn's original Round Ripple Baby Afghan, it's lovely and is a lovely gift for a baby. To make a plain Round Ripple, without the web, simply follow Lyn’s pattern or mine, just drop the sc rounds and use whatever colors & band widths suit you and your needs. Both afghans are under copyright. However, you may make & sell as many of the afghans as you can get buyers for. Always remember, crocheting has three functions - 1. Rnd 1: With RED: ch 4.

Just an idea | Chocolate Mints In a Jar I had this idea that tortured me for days till it finally saw the light of day. Ideas float in my head begging and pleading to be implemented into something more tangible than just an idea in my head. The idea behind this is so simple. A starting chain, then rounds until it is as tall as you would like plus a little extra. How easy is that? Pattern Chain 51. SC (Single Crochet) in the back ridges of the chain (50SC), slip stitch into first SC and turn. SC in the front loops of the chain (50 SC) The rounds start now. Chain 3 and DC all around. (100DC) You can make it a solid color or striped. Keep going until the bag is high enough, add a couple of mo re rows because when you create the base it gets slightly shorter. Lay the bag on a flat surface align the side seam with the starting chain so a triangle is formed. Do the same for the other side. Handles You can either add crochet handles ( like the one’s in Lucy’s Bag or Alice’s Starling) Attached a new color and did 24 SCs then 4 rows of SCs.
Make the World’s Easiest Crocheted Scarf Home » $1 and Free, Accessories, cheap crafts, Fashion, Headline, Tutorials, Wearable Crafts 11 July 2011 58,146 views 43 Comments by rhonda Even if you've never picked up a crochet hook in your life, you'll have no problem making this fabulous multi-strand scarf. It was inspired by a similar scarf I spotted at a pricey boutique. Project estimate: Yarn, on hand or $1 and upCrochet hook, on hand or $1 and upScissors, on hand Total: Free and up The only stitch you need to know to make this scarf is the easiest crochet stitch there is: the chain stitch. To make your scarf, you'll need to make lots of very long chains. Hold all of the chains together and tie an overhand knot. Continue knotting approximately every 8 to 12 inches along the length of the chains. Trim each individual chain to the desired finished length at the ends and tie a knot in each end to stop them from unraveling. I'm loving these scarves so much that I can't stop making them!
According to Matt...: Crochet O'clock! Hello gorgeous people!WOW!!! I can't believe we have reached the 500 followers mark!!! That's really fantastic! I've been a busy boy over the last couple of days, completely and utterly obsessed with my new project! Its been really fun having this clock to play around with. My initial idea was to attempt to crochet one of the scenes from one of my 'Sunny Pictures'. After throwing that idea around in my head, I soon realised that I would have to simplify the picture immensely. (Not a great drawing, but sketching out my ideas really helps me to visualise what I'm aiming for) I got cracking with the design and started by crocheting a big circle out of two brilliant shades of blue cotton. As I got further with the circle, I changed colours to add a rainbow to my blue circle. At this stage, I was already loving the mix of rainbow colours against the blue sky background! I searched the web for some crochet flower designs but settled on two designs I had previously used: Matt xxx
Boocoos Blogthingy: Crochet free pattern Stumbled across this pattern from an old Coats&Clark project sheet while looking for a pattern to use for my chained-yarn (more on that later). It was so fast and fun that my trial swatch turned into a lovely scarf. It may be worked side to side or lengthwise. The pattern is for a string poncho (size 3 thread) but I used a scrap of regular worsted and an H hook. UPDATE APRIL 3, 2012I made a mistake! The starting chain must be 33, not 31 as originally stated above.
