The Girl Can't Help It (Free subscription) | yesterday
Today's charming knitting sensation is this Vintage McCall's Fall/Winter 1957-58 Needlework Magazine , apparently aimed at the modern college student. Uh huh. I understand that the 50's college kid is a totally different beast than today's college kid, But some of this stuff is...questionable, for any 18-22 year old. Unless 5-year-olds went to college in the 50's, then yes, this magazine is ideal....

I WANT YOU TO KNOW (Free subscription) | 11/06/2009
As it's getting a lot chillier, I thought it'd be a good time to post the Circle Scarf tutorial. The circle has quickly become my favourite kind of scarf, as not even the most determined gust of wind can separate it from your neck and there are numerous ways to wear it. It's a simple 2x2 rib pattern, as you only need to know how to knit and purl and recognise the stitches to keep everything consistent....

Ariana at 3 weeks, wearing a sweater I knit during my pregnancy. Had she been a boy, I would have still made him wear it home from the hospital. Eight years ago I agreed to join a friend for an evening knitting course taught by a black heterosexual volleyball player named Steve out of a converted Vancouver warehouse. I've not stopped knitting since. It has proven to be the perfect antidote to medicine...

There hasn’t been much to cheer for if you’ve been a fan of the New York Knickerbockers over the last decade or so. While the once mighty franchise has struggled, there is now a reason to watch them - for the beginning of their on Friday night games on MSG at least - as they will feature a new song and video from Robert Randolph & The Family Band . The song, called Get There, features...

I went on a 'Knitting with wire' workshop yesterday. First we knitted a wire bracelet with beads. Th boring bit was threading all the beads on first. I now know why I add beads with a crochet hook as I go when I add beads to lace. With wire that technique is impossible apparently. We ended up with a wide cuff bracelet. I decided to roll mine into a bangle. It's not perfect but not bad for first attempt....

Design: Bird In Tree Designer: Historic Needlework Guild Threads: unknown, came with kit Fabric: 28 count linen, antique white Another 2007 finish. I thought that this would make a nice pinkeep and although it might sound like blowing my own trumpet, I was right :o) I think cording is good on these, it lies nicely in the groove between the mounted pieces.

Sorry I haven’t been able to update my blog for so long, but I’ve been a bit of a busy chap. As everybody realises, the canal closed here on 13 August (Mum says that she never wants to hear that date ever again!!). So, virtually no customers in the shop for over two months, no pats on the head, no treats, except from my postman Ant (sorry, Mum and Dads’ postman). The emergency evacuation...

A single word “CROCHET” is linked to a world of creativity and intricate patterns. What can’t be made of crochet? Almost everything is possible to make with thread and a hook, with the help of the right pattern
