Gawker hat einen, ähm, interessanten Artikel im Angebot. Für des Englischen Mächtige, der Link führt euch zum unterhaltsamen und informativen Original. Für alle anderen geht es zusammengefasst darum: Das US Olympic Committee hat sich beschwert, dass Ravelry die Ravelympics durchführt. Diesen Anlass gibt es schon seit Jahren. Dabei geht es darum, dass Stricker und Strickerinnen, Häkler und Häklerinnen ihr Handwerk um die Wette betreiben, während sie die olympischen Spiele am Fernsehen verfolgen. Sie messen sich dabei in Disziplinen wie Schal-Hockey und Afghan-Marathon. Die Ravelympics sind eine Art Werbeaktion für die Plattform, eine Motivationsspritze für die Mitglieder, das Netzwerk zu nutzen und auch, sich an neue Projekte zu machen. Gleichzeitig wirbt Ravelry damit für die Olympischen Spiele, denn die Mitglieder sollen sich diese ja ansehen, während sie stricken und häkeln. Das US Olympic Committee nimmts nicht eben sportlich. In einem Brief wird Ravelry aufgefordert, von der Aktion künftig und ab sofort abzusehen und schon gar nicht den Namen Ravelympics zu nutzen, denn das Committee hat alleinige Rechte am Begriff Olympics und allen Varianten davon. Im Brief schreibt das Komittee zudem, Ravelry beledige mit seiner Aktion die Sportlerinnen und Sportler, die sich ein Leben lang auf ihre Teilnahme vorbereitet hätten. Adrian Chen kommentiert das auf Gawker mit pointierter Ironie: "Yeah, Ravelry, do you want to make olympic athletes cry with your dumb knitting olympics? If you wanted to dignify athletes, your Olympics should also accept millions of dollars in corporate sponsorship from Dow Chemicals." ("Ja echt, Ravelry, wollt ihr die olympischen Athleten zum Heulen bringen mit eurer stupiden Strickolympiade? Wenn ihr die Athleten respektiert, dann sollten eure Olympischen Spiele auch Millionen von Dollars an Sponsoring von Dow Chemicals akzeptieren.") Die Ravelry-Mitgliedschaft ist kostenlos. Mitglieder können sich auf der Plattform austauschen, Bilder ihrer Werke hochladen, Muster und Anleitungen kaufen oder auch gratis downloaden, Muster und Anleitungen verkaufen oder teilen, alles brav im Rahmen der Legalität und unter Berücksichtigung von Urheberrechten. Zudem eine Chance, Gleichgesinnte zu finden oder erste Schritte als (bezahlte) Designer zu machen. Sportsgeist, würd ich sagen. Mehr als das US Olympic Committee im Moment zeigt.

One of the questions we get from readers is, “How do I knit or crochet this project with a different yarn than the pattern calls for?” While it is possible to answer questions like this on a case-by-case basis, the world of yarn is vast and varied—so we thought this would be a great opportunity …
This basket is good for collecting small items on your desktop or in drawers — or for holding a small batch of wrapped chocolates.

Knitting with kids is a fun, inspiring craft, but teaching kids to knit, whether yours is a sunny six- year-old or an afraid-of-failing teen, can be frustrating for both student and teacher. We've gathered a tried-and-true knitting lesson for teaching kids to knit as well as favorite reminders for making the lesson a relaxed and enjoyable time. This series is a part of our Crafts to Do with Kids Series, which has weekly posts, giveaways and how-tos all month-long. When to start knitting with kids: About 5 to 6 is generally the best age to start knitting, but desire to learn and dexterity are also reliable indicators. If kids watch eagerly as you pull up a skein of yarn and needles or they can tie their shoes easily, they are probably ready. Materials that work best when knitting with kids: Choose a high-quality wool with a lot of grip so stitches don’t drop as easily. Also, a light-colored yarn makes stitches easier to see. Any size knitting needles will work, as along as it fits the yarn. How to teach the knit stitch when knitting with kids: Note: Most kids have an attention span of their age plus 2-5 minutes, so a six-year-old can focus for roughly 8-13 minutes. As such, keep lessons short and sweet to prevent burnout. Step 1: We love the classic teaching rhyme, shared by Knit Sisters: “Up the tree, Around the back, Down the tree, And off jumps jack.” Demonstrate the knit stitch 5-7 times, all while saying the rhyme with each stitch. Once your child understands the rhyme, have them direct your next stitch while you refuse to move the needles without your child’s direction. Continue this for the next few stitches until your child seems to have mastered the rhyme and can identify what each direction means. Step 2 (teens skip to Step 3): Once your child has a clear visual of what the knit stitch looks like, ask if she’s ready to learn more. If not, stop here to end on a note of success. If your child is eager for more, an expert on Knit Sisters recommends putting your child’s hands in your own and knitting a few stitches so she can get a feel. The expert then recommends letting the little knitter hold the needles while you wrap the yarn. Step 3: Once the child seems comfortable, hand the needles over and let them combine everything. Remember that messing up and making mistakes are a normal, healthy part of learning. General tips when knitting with kids: - Be comfortable making a mistake (or even faking a mistake) when knitting to demonstrate that mistakes are normal. - Praise and encouragement are essential when teaching kids. Teens especially can feel insecure about trying something new in front an expert, so be uncritical. - If a child gets frustrated, take a 10-minute break and come back later. - Focus on process over product — praise how well the child is working or how much fun he or she is having, instead of how neat and pretty the finished product looks.

This might be a bizarre question, and it’s something I never really thought about until I started knitting sweaters more routinely/seriously. You knit (or crochet, or sew) a thing, and then you’re left with a certain number of parts. The pattern, your notes, the remnant yarn or fabric. I keep every knitting project in its […]
