This newfangled all-in-one knitting tool is called The Knit Kit. It has a whole buttload of stuff built in, including three things I use all the time: a tape measure, a stitch counter, and a thread cutter. I love that it also has space for a few stitch markers and point protectors. It isn’t available yet and there’s no cost listed that I could locate, so I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled. via Craftzine
Betz White is a designer and crafter who uses felted wool to applique garments like this awesome plaid skirt. She is clearly a master of selecting just the right colors for a beautiful result. via Craftzine
How gorgeous is this? Brooklyntweed created it with the ever-popular Noro, and has kindly posted plenty of detail about its creation. I must dig through my stash to see if I have any variegated yarns that would go well together for a super stripey scarf like this one. via Craftzine Frogging can be one of the most (emotionally) difficult and frustrating parts of knitting, but one that happens far more often than most non-knitters probably imagine. I’d say I undo nearly half of the things I start, though I don’t usually get very far into them before deciding I don’t like how they’re turning out, so it’s generally not a huge amount of effort wasted. I also don’t use patterns most of the time, so it’s a matter of trial and error while I figure out if what I thought might work actually does. This short uses frogging to demonstrate a much more serious point, and is pretty effective, I think. via Craftzine
Check it out! Craftster gal Lunique created this kickass fish bag. No pattern, just time and creativity! Yet another item that begs to be available on Etsy. I love the scale and fin detail and the contrasting fabric. Were I to make one I’d choose a deep red Asian silk brocade for the parts that are yellow above, and black for the blue, with the scales in red thread. I’d select a silver purse clasp and silver buttons for the eyes. via Craftzine
How awesome are these shoes hand painted by Star+Bluebird? I love them – wish they weren’t one of a kind (they’d be perfect for sale on Etsy!). I’d wear them daily if I could. via Craftzine
Margaux Lange creates jewelry from doll parts. They’re creepy but cool. Check out her Etsy shop and own some for yourself. via Craftzine One of the things I am thankful for is that we have a great home, and that we got to travel to my parents’ lovely home for a delicious Thanksgiving dinner. Speaking of home…
The Domestic Scientist has created this clever pattern, which I think would be perfect for a housewarming present. Nintendo, Wii, and NES controller logos also available. And all for free! via Craftzine
Cakeyvoice created this sweet knitted Ash. (You can own it, too, through the magic of etsy.) Evil Dead and craftiness: two great tastes that taste great together. via Craftzine |
