STORY The mysterious depths of the ocean keep many secrets, and its inhabitants are the most amazing creatures on our planet. Peace and tranquility reign in the underwater kingdom, ruled by the wise Triton, who is always kind and fair. Only his daughter, a little mermaid, breaks this peace every now and then, coming up with some new entertainment idea for herself and her friends. This time, she has decided to go on a treasure hunt to find the largest pearl in the entire ocean. Her three best friends, the Hermit Crab, the Octopus and the Seahorse, happily accompany her in her quest. After quite a long search, the Hermit Crab finds some treasure!!! No, not a pearl, but a beautiful conch shell overgrown with multi-colored flowers. So stunning! From now on, he will proudly call this shell his home.

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 […]

This was just a little experiment to see what this pattern turned out like. Al though this could be categorized under preparedness, as medical supplies would be in high demand in a disaster type scenario, I chose to make this to accompany my herbal first aid kit and use now in fomentations etc. ACE brand bandages, and the like are not suitable to use in this way because of the materials, and lack of breathe-ability. The cotton that that these are made with fits the bill, as well as being washable, bleach-able, and if you need to, boil-able. Not to mention that they are extremely durable. So far my knitted bandage is a little over 2 1/2 feet. Its a great little project to mindlessly work on while putting my daughters down for their nap. It has even spawned a lesson in parenting. Pattern ideas courtesy of LDS Humanitarian Services Size: approximately 3" - 4" inches wide by 4 feet long. Material specifications: No. 10 knit Cro-sheen, 100% mercerized cotton in white, cream or ecru. (1 small ball 225 yds- should make 1 knitted bandage) Knitting needles: US 2 = 2.75 mm = UK size 12 US size 3 = 3.25 mm = UK size 10 Crochet hooks: US size D = 3.00 mm = UK size 11 US size E = 3.50 mm = UK size 9 Do not use dyes/colors. *When completed, roll bandages and secure with a large (2") safety pin. Hand Knitted Bandage: Use US size 2 = 2.75 mm = UK size 12 OR US size 3 = 3.25 mm = UK size 10 knitting needles if you knit average or loosely, size 3 needles if you knit tightly. Cast on 24 to 27 stitches so the bandage measures 3"- 4" across. Knit every row until bandage is desired length of about 4 feet long, then bind off, leaving a 2-3" tail to weave in. (The edge looks neater if you slip the first stitch of each row instead of knitting it.) Secure tail by slipping thread through last stitch, tying a small knot, and weaving end back through stitches. Crocheted Bandage: Use US size D = 3.00 mm = UK size 11 or US size E = 3.50 mm = UK size 9 (looser tension desirable). Chain enough stitches (23-26) to measure 3" - 4" in width. (GAUGE: 23 chs and an E hook, and it takes about 6 rows to equal one inch.) Row 1: Single crochet into each chain. Chain 1 and turn. Rows 2: Single crochet into each sc across row. Ch 1 and turn. Continue to single crochet to end, chain 1 and turn Row 3 - ? (4 feet long) Repeat row 2 until bandage measures about 4' long. Finish off by pulling thread through last loop and secure with a knot. Weave end back through stitches. I use a sewing needle to do this.
Sono veramente felice dell'interesse suscitato dai miei asciughini Ikea rifiniti con un bordo crochet! Tante amiche e lettrici mi hanno chiesto come si fa, in che modo si procede per rifinire degli orli di stoffa ( potrebbero essere anche cuscini, tende, asciugamani, tovaglie...) Quindi mentre lavoravo all'ultimo dei 4 , ho scattato qualche foto per spiegare come io procedo , guardate le foto sotto, è veramente semplice! Occorrono : un gomitolo di cotone , un uncinetto adeguato, un ago da lana - partendo dal ROVESCIO dell'asciughino, si fa una serie di PUNTI FESTONE alla distanza di 2/3 mm uno dall'altro se il cotone è piuttosto grande, meno se il cotone è sottile. Infilate l'ago a circa 3 mm dal bordo stando attente a prendere solo lo strato superficiale della piega dell'orlo , ( il DAVANTI si presenterà come vedete nella foto sotto) considerate che in ogni "archetto del punto festone andrà lavorata una maglia bassa , quindi per la distanza dei punti regolatevi in base alla grandezza del cotone che state usando Dopo aver fermato il filo con qualche punto nascosto sotto la piega dell'orlo, sempre dal ROVESCIO del lavoro, eseguite il giro di punti bassi iniziando con 1 catenella . A questo punto , girate il lavoro, vi troverete sul DRITTO dell'asciughino, iniziate a lavorare con la bordura che avrete scelto! Facile no? E il lavoro risulta , pulito, ben attaccato per resistere a lavaggi ripetuti senza allentarsi e senza scucirsi!!

Doilies, snowflakes and other small, openwork crochet pieces need to be shaped to display their beauty. These pieces depend on a darker background to bring out the pattern that is crocheted, and if the crochet is wrinkled or shrunken, the pattern will not show to its best advantage.
When I knitted my first cardigan, I followed the directions for the buttonband carefully, experimenting with different needle sizes and types of buttonholes. But despite my best efforts, I ended up with a droopy band

I have been receiving some e-mails recently from people asking how to read amigurumi patterns. I always assumed it was straight forward enough, but I often forget what it was like when I first started…
After designing my mini hippo blankie, I was asked to consider designing a whole hippo. After designing the larger hippo, I thought a little friend was needed, too. So these two darlings were born. Sitting approx. 9” and 7”, Hippos are knit in-the-round, using Magic Loop or double pointed needles, using approx. 290/152 yds. of #4-worsted wt. (Aran/10-ply) yarn. Large or small, these hippos make sweet companions with their adorable faces and bodies. If you know someone who would love an unusual cuddly, these hippos fit the bill!
There are three crochet terms that are commonly misused….or so I thought. While researching to find out why these 3 words are being used wrong, I realized something – They aren’t….or are they? My theories about them were on the right track but there is,…
