Mustaa villaa: Three reasons to love Garter Stripe Beanies Three reasons to love Garter Stripe Beanies 1. The colours.I really, really love knitting with colours.

Tutorial: Sew A Lining Into A Crocheted Bag This tutorial shows you how I hand sew a fabric lining into a crochet bag. There is a line of stitching at the top of the fold in my lining as reference. If you make a lining, you don't need the stitching line. You need: the unlined crochet bagthe lining (use my lining tutorial if you need instructions)needlethreadscissorspinsstitch markers Basic Instructions · Pin the lining into the bag· Sew the lining into the bag Sounds pretty easy, huh? Detailed instructions (text is above its corresponding photo) · Pin the lining into the bag. 1) Find the crochet row where you will be sewing the lining into the bag. 2) Use a stitch marker to mark the midpoint of both sides of the handbag. 3) Put the lining in the bag. 4) I put the snaps in my lining in the exact middle of each side. 5) Close the snap and fold the handbag flat to find the right and left edges of the crochet bag. 7) Hold the bag so it's flat between two of the pins. 8) Make sure you don't stretch or bunch up the crochet. 18) Pull tight.

Suitable for knitting scarves, beading necklaces, etc, etc. Originally I was going to write something more, but there's not really that much more to say. Tips The human visual range is roughly 3900 to 7500 ångströms. Similarly, to cut down on colour variety, I have not directly modeled line intensity. Catie suggests a good rule of thumb for calculating yarn usage per row is to multiply the width of the scarf by 3, then by two again if it's a tube scarf.

Rheatheylia.com So I bought the Boye Needlemaster set a while ago for a few reasons: 1. Price (cheapest set available, especially if you have a 40% off coupon, heh) 2. Tons of tips (2-15! no other set has this range of sizes) 3. Pretty colors (yeah, this is silly, but they're so purty!) The cables that came with them, however, sucked. So in a fit of insanity, I decided to make my own. I hesitated making a tute for this since it seems pretty extreme, making your own cables, but I figured if people are willing to take a tap and die to metal needles maybe someone would be interested in how to make their own cables. So after lots of measuring, trial and error, trying to find perfect materials, I got it, and let me tell you, these cables are awesome. These are really easy to make, seriously. So not including the stuff laying around the house I spent probably 8 bucks total on this, and that's including 200 feet of weed eater line (that's a lot of interchangable cables!)

Digital Resources from the Knitting Reference Library WSA :: Library Richard Rutt is a scholar and former bishop who is widely known for his classic book 'A history of hand knitting', published by Batsford in 1987. Rutt’s library of books, journals, magazines, patterns and cuttings specifically on knitting is held at Winchester School of Art Library. This follows his wish to donate his library to the University of Southampton in order to join it with Montse Stanley’s Knitting Collections as an acknowledgement of their shared interest in knitting and their consequent long standing friendship. A particular distinction and strength of his collection is the range and number of nineteenth century knitting books which commenced publication in the 1830s. In addition, his library includes a comprehensive run of the knitting magazine Stitchcraft dating from the 1930s to the 1980s which richly illustrates the changing graphic image and layout of knitting patterns through the decades of the twentieth century.
