Hallo Ladies, innerhalb kürzester Zeit könnt Ihr ungeliebten, langweiligen Vasen, Gefäßen oder einfach leeren Gurkengläsern einen Cosy Winter Style verpassen. Wie so oft, hatte ich Strickmuster ausprobiert. Und da bin ich auf dieses wirklich einfache und wie ich finde, superschöne Strickmuster getroffen. (Da ich nicht so viel stricke, kannte ich es noch nicht. Euch geht's da vielleicht anders. Aber egal...) Für so ein DRESS braucht Ihr: dicke Wolle, (sonst evtl. mehrere Fäden nehmen) Stricknadeln, (habe No.8) verwendet) ein Gefäß und eine Häkelnadel. Habt Ihr alles zusammen? Dann kann's losgehen. Zuerst eine Maschenprobe stricken, um die evtl. Größe zu ermitteln. Für ein normales Gurkenglas habe ich 22 Maschen aufgenommen. Diese 22 Maschen glatt rechts stricken. Wenden. Keine Randmasche aufnehmen. Die erste Masche ganz normal rechts stricken. Die zweite Masche ebenfalls rechts Stricken, aber unten einstechen. Hier sieht man es ganz gut. Die Masche davor einfach abheben. Die nächste Masche wieder normal rechts, die folgende unten eingestochen auch rechts stricken und immer so weiter. Wenden. Auf der Rückseite immer das Gegenteil stricken. Schon bald werdet ihr es sehen... Schaut euch mal genau das Foto an. Dort wo 2 Maschen über einander sind (=), stecht ihr oben ein. Wo nur eine Masche zu sehen ist(-), stecht ihr unten ein. Erst sieht man noch nicht viel, von dem Muster. Doch habt Ihr erstmal ein Stück gestrickt, könnt Ihr es schon prima erkennen. Wenn Ihr in etwa die Höhe erreicht habt. Strickt Ihr das Teil ab. Das heißt: letzte Runde Stricken und sobald ihr 2 Maschen auf der rechten Nadel habt. Hebt Ihr die die rechte Masche mit Hilfe der Stricknadel über die linke Masche. Usw. Nun könnt ihr schon mal schauen, ob alles passt... Dann legt ihr die Arbeit, verkehrt herum aufeinander. Und häkelt eure Naht mit Kettmaschen zusammen. Fertig! Na, ja fast... 1x umdrehen und auf's Glas stülpen. Faden abschneiden, durchziehen und verstecken. Rein theoretisch, wäre es aber jetzt fertig! Doch, wer den Rand vom Glas nicht sehen möchte, umhäkelt das ganze noch ein paar runden mit Kettmaschen. Dann sieht's in etwa, so aus... Ich hoffe, Euch gefällt das Muster auch so gut... ...und, oder ich konnte Euch ein klein wenig inspirieren. Liebe Grüße eure CREATINA Cosy Winter Dress: ONLY FOR PERSONAL USE!

Christina McFall over on CRAFT has a great tutorial on using the cyanotype printing technique on textiles like handknits and crochet.

Put your knitting and crocheting skills to work for those in need.

Here’s a silly little hint for working with a pattern repeat, such as in lace knitting. I used this tool when I was knitting my Little Leaf Shawlette.

The Comfy Cozy Shrug Pattern uses a simple variation on the garter stitch to create a loose, but stylish, knit shrug to add a nice layer to any outfit. This shrug has textured stripes working their way down from shoulder to wrist, drawn in by a thick cuff. This fun knitting project is knit flat, which means everyone can give it a try, whether they know how to knit in the round or not. This will be the perfect shrug pattern to ward off a cold breeze on a summer day.

Hello my dear friends, seriously ~ I am hooked! Hooked on crocheting mini flowers from a pattern I made up this morning and now I just can't seem to want to stop making these tiny blooms. It takes not even 5 minutes to have one done. Right now I have no idea what I am going to use them for but I am sure something will pop into my mind. I first learnt how to crochet when I was 8 or 9 years old in school (yes, in those days we were still taught how to sew, knit, crochet and cook at school, something I think they should bring back, I actually learnt how to sew when I was about 5 years old and my Grandma taught me how to ) and I have always loved to crochet. When I was a teenager I would crochet large doilies or tablecloths and sell them to make a bit of extra pocket money. These days I still like to crochet but nothing too big but I do love making smaller pieces like snowflakes, little hearts or like these little flowers now. Take a look ... ... aren't they just so neat and tiny?! These could be made plain and then you could dye them any color you would like either with food coloring or even Easter egg colors! They could be used to embellish tags or pincushions or anywhere you would like them to be! And you can use them to make these ... ... an old idea with a new twist ... ... instead of using little flowers of paper or book pages you can use these to make your little flowers pins! And because I love to create and I think I am a happier person because of it I would like to share how to make these tiny flowers with you today. I am sharing the instructions two ways ... ...once as a graphic with the crochet symbols and secondly as written instructions as well . How to make a tiny flower ... ... you start off with a magic ring/circle ~ if you don't know how to make a magic circle you can find many videos on 'how to' on the net. There is only one round you need to crochet for this flower ... ... form a magic ring ~ into this ring crochet ... 3 chain stitches, one double crochet, 3 chain stitches, one slip stitch. Repeat this 4 more times ~ making the 5 petals for the flower ~ finishing with a slip stitch. Now just fasten off, tighten the magic ring by pulling the tail of the thread, cut off and you are done with your little flower. I hope my instructions are written so you will be able to make this little flower and now all you have to do is find something you want to embellish with them. I hope you are well and life is treating you kind. Have a peaceful and creative day, Karen B.

I've just found the cute valentine's day card at eskimo rose blog which you can make for everyone you love ^^ Before you start on the card, you need to make a mini version of crochet heart first. You will need to use single crochet (sc), decreasing by crocheting 2 together (sc next 2 tog), and a magic circle - US terms (sorry fellow Brits!) sc [single]: insert hook through stitch, yarn over, pull the loop back through the stitch (two loops on the hook), yarn over and pull through two loops. sc2tog [crochet 2 together]: insert hook through first stitch, yarn over, pull the loop back through the stitch (two loops on hook), insert hook through second stitch, yarn over, pull the loop back through the stitch (three loops on hook) yarn over and pull through all three loops. 1. Round 1: Start with a magic circle, 6 sc into ring, and pull tight (6 stitches). 2. Round 2: 2 sc into each stitch of the first round (12 stitches) 3. Round 3: 1 sc into next stitch, 2 sc into next stitch, repeat 6 times to end of round (18 stitches) and fasten off. Repeat the process to make a second circle but DO NOT fasten off this time. 4. Next join the two circles together. Keeping your hook in the last loop of the second circle, insert it into the first circle in the same space that the last stitch went into. 5. 1 sc into this space - look where I have drawn the arrow, can you see I have made the joining stitch right next to the last stitch on the first circle. 6. Continue with 1 sc into each stitch all the way around the first circle. 7. Now insert the hook back into the second circle, again into the same space that the very last stitch went into. 1 sc into this space - look again at my arrow, can you see the joining stitch is right next to the last stitch I made on the second circle. 8. Continue with 1 sc into each stitch ... 9. ... Until you get all the way around the second. This figure of eight will make the two top bumps of the heart. 10. Next you start to decrease to make the point of the heart. 1 sc in next 4 stitches (labelled these 1-4), sc2tog (labelled 5 & 6 - can you see the yarn that is pulled through stitch 5, and again through stitch 6, before finishing the stitch) - repeat this until you have roughly gone all the way around. 11. Then decrease again, 1 sc in next 3 stitches, sc2tog - repeat this until you have roughly gone all the way around. And again, 1 sc in next 2 stitches, sc2tog - once again repeating until you have roughly gone all the way around. Your crochet should be starting to look more like a heart now ... 12. Deacrease again, 1 sc into next stitch, sc2tog - repeat until the hole is about the size of your thumbnail. 13. Stuff with toy stuffing, but if you don't have any you can improvise with cotton wool ... 14. Continue decreasing (1 sc, sc2tog) until you can't do it any more. 15. Fasten off, then thread yarn into needle. Insert the needle into the very tip of the heart, push through to the top, pulling yarn through. You can either trim the yarn or leave it long if you want to use it for something else. 16. Continue making lots more little hearts in scrummy jewel coloured hearts ... It is easy to vary the sizes of your hearts just by using different size hooks and yarns of differing weight. But to make a more dramatic difference in size simply make larger or smaller circle in the first 4 steps. See in the picture, I made a tiny little red heart, instead of 3 rounds I stopped after two (12 stitches). Next step: making your cards 1. Trim two sheets of card to the size that you want your finished valentine's card to be (remember it will be folded in half!). Stack the two sheets so that they are perfectly lined up, then in one corner cut a circle with the 3" circle punch. The hole should be in exactly the same place on each piece of card. 2. Take one of the card sheets and use a ruler to mark the centre fold of the card (see the squiggly arrow), and lightly score a line with a craft knife 3. Carefully fold the card (this should be easy as you have already scored the line). Next trim the second sheet of card so that it is slightly smaller than the front of the folded card. 4. On the inside of the main card stick a teeny bit of double sided tape just above the middle of the hole at the top (see another wiggly arrow). 5. Prepare the double sided tape by removing the backing and position the heart in the centre of the hole. Then holding the heart with one hand, pull the tail of the yarn to the top of the card and stick it firmly on to the double sided tape. Make a right angle with the yarn so that the tail will not be visible at the top of the card and add a little more double sided tape to secure the end (see the wobbly arrow). 6. Now take the backing card and place a tiny bit of double sided tape at the top just as you did with the main card (see another wavy arrow). At this point, don't forget to smother the rest of the backing card with ample amounts of pritt stick glue. 7. Place the backing card over the inside of the card to conceal the tail of the yarn (sticky side down), making sure that the hold is perfectly lined up with that of the main card. Have a Happy Valentine!!

Hello lovelies! It feels great to finally finished my very first knit project. I made a cute little cowl for my sweetheart, gray yarn 60 cm Length / 25 cm Width.

And it took me quite sometime to finish it as I am still slow in my hand movement with the sticks. It only gets faster and better with practise. So here I gathered these ideas for some of you who are intrested like me in house and holiday projects, alternative handmade gift or just for the sake of trying new challenging hobbies.
