I've finished knitting this little puppy his very own knitted blanket... And that, my friends, is the completion of my Ravelympics projects for this year! This pattern "Wrap me up Puppies" is also from the book Itty Bitty Toys. I just love this book. This is now the 3rd pattern I've knit from it. I'm pretty sure that Susan B. Anderson is a toy knitting genius. My daughter absolutely loves putting her stuffed animals and dolls to bed. That is by far her favorite playtime activity. From the first time I flipped through this pattern book, I knew that this is a toy that I would definitely make one day. I just love how you can wrap this little blanket around and fasten it up like a little puppy burrito. Very clever. This puppy and blanket only took a few days to knit, and was the easiest toy out of the 3 to make. I would definitely consider making this one again. My daughter is of course thrilled to add puppy to her knitted toy collection.. ...which is growing quite large these days...

What do you like best in a crochet sandwich? Lettuce and tomato? Maybe a slice or two of crisp bacon for a BLT? Or a slice of cheese? Or any combination...

I’m always putting the offer out there for toy design requests – and someone finally took me up on it! A very kind and always-supportive friend on Ravelry had a dream of knitting a Ferrari! I have…

A while ago a crochet friend of mine introduced and recommended “entrelac crochet” to me. She thought that it would match my style just perfect and so I thought I will give it a try. I …

When I think of an animal mascot of the summer, I picture a flamingo. The image of that distinctive pink plumage and sassy bent leg just screams tropical elegance. This flamingo amigurumi pattern is fairly simple but there is a neat shaping trick that I used for the bend of the neck. To direct the […]

12 simple knitting stitches for beginners for any knitter including those learning how to knit and the more advanced. Take a look and start swatching!

I had so much fun working this top! The colour of my yarn reminded me of biscuits, and when I started to think about the meaning of the word: baked twice, this was what I wanted to create for my top. Lace used twice! To make lovely “crusts”, for the yoke as well as the lower border. And as the first and second time can’t be equal I made 2 different stitch-patterns:) Please note: there is also a tiny version for the small ones, based upon this design: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/little-biscuit The design features: a lace-patterned yoke with a square neckline (and a bit scalloped, due to the nature of the lace) a broad lace-border at the hem-line -picot bind-off slightly A-line shaped (you might also work the top without any shaping). Construction The pattern guides you through the construction step-by-step, You start by working the yoke in one piece going from the back to front, work the upper body of the front and back to underarms. The main body is worked in-the-round and top-down to the bind-off. Sizes 87/90/93/97/102/106/111/116/122/127/132/139 cm = 34/35.5/37/38/40/43/44/45.5/48/50/52/54”. Materials Yarn: I recommend that you use a fingering/sport weight yarn that knits up to gauge to work the top. I used “Susurro” from Malabrigo to work the top. This sport weight, linen/silk/merino yarn comes in skeins of 100 gr/3.53 oz and 297 m/325 yards. You will need approximately 590/650/700/750/800/850/900/950/1000/1050/1100/1150 m = 643 /708/763/817/872/926/981/1035/1090/1144/1199 yards of this specific yarn to work the top. Needles: circular, or straight, needles, needle size 3 mm/US2.5, for the yoke and upper body. A circular needle, 80 cm/36” long, in the same size as used for the upper body to work the lower body. Gauge24 sts and 36 - 38 rows/rounds in stockinette sts, after blocking/washing = 10 x 10 cm/4 x 4”. The pattern There is a step-by-step guide and a schematic for the yoke.

For pattern support please go to the questions thread here. designed for the mYak virtual retreat 2021 update 02/16: portuguese translation added the name Fjolla comes from Albanian fjollë, meaning “fine snow” or “snowflake” and to me, it perfectly describes the combination of the wonderfully soft and light fabric the lace weight yarn (held double) and the pattern make in this pullover Fjolla is worked seamlessly from the top down, with 2 strands of mYak Baby Yak Lace held double throughout. The yoke is shaped by using a modified version of the contiguous set-in sleeves method developed by Susie Myers. First the yoke is worked back and forth to the final neck CO. When the neck shaping is complete, the yoke is worked in rounds to sleeve separation. The sleeve stitches are placed on hold and the underarm stitches are cast on. Then the body is worked in rounds to the ribbing. The sleeve stitches are then picked up again to work the sleeve in rounds, top down, to the cuffs. Neck finishing is worked last.
