Put Up Your Dukes: double braided scarf tutorial as promised...today i give you the tutorial for the double braid version of my braided scarf. the single braid tutorial that has gotten so much awesome feedback and love (sew, mama, sew! and prudent baby featured it in their round ups! to get this look for your scarf you will follow the single braid tutorial up through step 3. that is where we pick up. we are basically just adding an extra knot (that we manually create by twisting rather that using the pull-through tie method like with the first braid) instead of the color-blocked closure on the other side. but this second knot is extra tricky because you have less length to work with and you have to kind of ghetto-make the knot. here's how we break it down. this version is much more confusing to explain and photograph (especially since i used the exact same color combo as the single braid...whoops), so bear with me. i am adding notes underneath for the steps that arent self-explanatory. b-remember which color you start with on the bottom.

CUTECIRCUIT | How to Make a Skirt in 30 Seconds! Posted at 13:25h in News by CUTECIRCUIT We arrived at Campus-Party in Valencia, Spain to show Hug Shirts in a performance/demo in the afternoon but we soon learned that we were also scheduled for a big press conference starting almost immediately! The mannequins were already in place and quickly we put the Hug Shirts on them. However, in a moment of inspiration Francesca asks our hosts, “Do you have some extra CampusParty t-shirts?” Literally within seconds she transformed the cool black t-shirts into really stylish looking skirts for the mannequins. So, since really cool and affordable t-shirts are popping up every where these days (and really cool, affordable skirts are not), we thought you’d also be interested in how to make this kind of instant skirt! Get a large shirt you think will make a good skirt and that you are willing to sacrifice to the gods of fashion. Thanks to all the folks at CampusParty for hosting a very unique and enjoyable event!

Knitting spools THE LOST ART OF KNITTING NANCYS Pictures and instructions on how to make and use them (Viewed best in Internet Explorer. Some other browsrs may not be able to open the image files. Whether you call them Knitting Nancys, Bizzy Lizzys, knitting mushrooms, knitting spools, corkers, peg knitters, knitting nobbys (or knitting noddys) or knitting knobbys, these knitting devices all owe their existence to the medieval lucet. It's used by threading yarn through the hole then in a figure eight around the prongs. Knitting Nancys are four-prong variants of the lucet. Versions like the one pictured above used to be made out of wooden thread spools, something difficult to do in these modern times since thread spools are now plastic. Yarn is fed down through the hole and left to hang. The knitting is then accomplished by holding the spool between the index finger and thumb while the yarn is held against the palm by the other three fingers. Knitting Nancys come in many shapes and sizes. To increase:

Long time no craft: Choco-mint style stars! Easy Slouchy Unisex Beanie 18.8K Flares18.8K Flares × I have to admit, I’ve knit this hat countless times, but I don’t have one for myself. Without fail, every time I finish one, a friend or family member will try it on and I exclaim how good it looks on them and gift it. This is my most recent version. I wore it exactly once before it was stolen off my head and immediately given away. They’re just so easy to make, I’m always telling myself I’ll make a new one to keep! What you Need: Here’s the Pattern: Cast On enough stitches to fit the circumference of someone’s head from their hairline to the nape of their neck (for me, that was 120 on size 8 needles, 100 on size 10 needles and 80 on size 13 needles) just make sure you have an even number of stitches. Crown Shaping: Once you reach the appropriate amount of “slouchiness” start decreasing. This written version of the pattern has not been tested, and I’ve made this hat so many times that I don’t really count stitches and rows anymore, I just go until it looks right.

Toilet Paper Roll Knitting Idea #8: Summer Skinny Skarf | My Material Life It wasn’t until I figured how to knit a hole into a spool-knit tube (see Spool Knit Wrist Warmer) that I realized that a spool knitter could be used to knit a flat panel. Why it took me so long I don’t know. Spool knitters are knitting looms after all – just because they are round doesn’t mean you have to create a tube with them. What I did to create the flat scarf above was to start knitting on one stick and work my way around to the last stick. Because I wrap my sticks as I use the spool knitter, you will notice a directional change in the pattern created by the stitches. Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Now let me show you how to get a nice finished edge for your scarf. you end up with only two loops remaining on one stick. Here’s another scarf I’m working on with some finer yarns that I had in my stash. For additional spool knitting posts and projects, please click here.
