Recycle Tutorial – Making Of T-Shirt Yarn | craftpassion.com
Another tutorial to help save our Mother Earth by turning unwanted items into something useful. This is the yarn ball I made out of an old T-shirt which I have been wearing for 10 years day-in day-out, wash-in wash-out. It finally broke down and tore at the collar and sleeves. Waste not, want not, I decided to recycle it. I have finished making the drawstring bag as shown above. Please click here to have a look and you can download the simple pattern I created. {CLICK HERE to get the Recycle Tutorial – Making Of T-Shirt Yarn.} Pages: 1 2 Print / Download PDF

Enfiler des perles..
Ca semble tout simple, dit comme ça: enfiler des perles ... et bien avec un mode d'emploi , insérer des perles dans son tricot c'est tout de suite très très simple: That seems quite simple, said like that: thread pearls and well with an instructions for use, insert pearls, it is very very simple at once: Il faut un crochet fin ( 1mm, 0.75mm ou 0.6mm pour des perles très fines), des perles ( oui je sais ça a l'air evident comme ça, mais on ne sait jamais!) A fine hook (1mm, 0.75mm or 0.6mm for very fine pearls), pearls is needed (yes I know that looks evident like that, but you never can tell!) Ensuite sortez la maille où vous souhaitez enfiler la perle. Then take out the stitch where you wish to thread the pearl. Ensuite remettez la maille sur l'aiguille de gauche et tricotez la comme vous le souhaitez. Then put back the stitch on the left needle and knit as you wish it. Et enfiler des perles redevient le jeu d'enfant qu' on aimait tant!

Make A Dry Erase Board, Dry Erase Whiteboard: Craft Ideas Weekly
Whiteboards (or dry erase boards as they are also commonly called) are pretty cool for diagramming and story boarding wild ideas, but the ginormous white ones ubiquitous in most office settings are not exactly something I want in my kitchen (where I currently do most of my work.) They also aren’t particularly portable or easy for the kids to use when they want to draw without wasting paper. Make A Dry Erase Board (Whiteboard) Here is a pretty simple tutorial showing how to make personalized, portable dry erase boards. What You’ll Need: Clear Adhesive Backed Laminate or “Contact” Paper (we used one made by “Duck” available in most stores that sell basic drawer liners.) A sheet of MDF – Larger, pre-cut sizes are available or you can ask the hardware store to cut a 24 x 48 inch sheet into 8 12 x 12 boards (which is what I have done.) White Latex Primer ( I used Killz – you don’t need much so the smaller container will do.) Craft glue Priming the MDF – My son helped! Dry Erase Markers How to do it:
French Knot Monograms (Plus one more embroidery) - NEEDLEWORK
I made these monograms for my husband and myself (Joseph and Alyssa)! I would love to frame them in something like this ( but can't seem to find a similar frame for a reasonable price. If anyone has any ides, please let me know! I put them in wooden hoops (I haven't cut the excess fabric, just tucked it behind), but since we're moving in a few weeks I didn't want to put new holes in the wall to hang them. Really easy--just a lot of french knots. I made the "c" for an art swap with a friend. One more embroidery: The phrase doesn't really make sense, I know! I COMPLETELY ripped this design off of someone! The grass is DMC 94, a variegated green.
Crochet Basket Weave Afghan Baby Blanket - Pattern & Tutorial
Often, I received feedback from readers asking me where to get the yarns I used for my crochet and/or knitting projects. Frankly speaking, I bought most of my yarns from the local yarn shops around here and I do understand that it is hard for many of you to get the exact one. This time, to make my pattern more yarn-search-friendly, I used Lion Brand, a well known yarn company where you can order online or buy them from shop if they are available. This blanket is made from cotton medium worsted yarn, the basket weave pattern makes it warm and cozy in cold weather.

Lily Pad Hexagons...
Hello from not so sunny Scotland! I haven't forgotten you all, it's just taken me longer than expected to get organised, and I also wanted to have something good to share....... but first.... Scotland in the rain is lovely; I'm really enjoying my new job and I love my new home. This is the view from my kitchen window - and these were my moving in treat to myself... I can see a loch from my bedroom window, but I'm not taking any pics until I can get out there when the sun is shining, and that has only happened so far while I've been at work. Now enough of the necessities of life and on to the good stuff! And if you look from the side I think they look rather like lily pads...... Now I'm aware that my instructions for the puffed daisy hexagon has stumped some readers who are not quite as experienced in the crochet techniques required, so I have produced a photo-heavy tutorial below that I hope can be followed by all.

TUTO : torchon crocheté en lavette, suite et fin. - Creativ-idees, le blog de Casse-bonbec
Bonjour les accro'cheteuses ! Voici la suite du tuto pour crocheter un vieux torchon. Si vous avez bien suivi la 1ère partie du tuto, vous avez obtenu ceci : Avant de commencer, un petit conseil : si le temps le permet, mettez-vous dehors pour crocheter, car beaucoup de petits bouts de fil vont tomber pendant le crochetage. Maintenant, il suffit de prendre un gros crochet (n°7 dans mon cas, c'est mon plus gros), faire un nœud coulant pour commencer, et monter une chaînette de 20 m en l'air. Ensuite, faire 1 maille en l'air pour tourner, puis 1 rang de mailles serrées. Vous obtiendrez ainsi un ouvrage avec du relief, qui nettoie mieux, je pense. Continuez ainsi. Y'a plus qu'à mouiller et laver robinets et lavabos ! Après utilisation, essorez bien (c'est épais, ça sera long à sécher) mais sans tordre de toutes vos forces (souvenez-vous que c'est du tissu usé !).
