Do you mind if i knit: Sewing up knitting or crochet with an invisible stitch.
Hello! Would you like to know how I join all the seams of my knitting and crochet? You would?! In these instructions, I'm joining up the squares of my 'Little Squares Scarf'. Right, here goes! Having lined up your middle squares of the first row ready to be sewn up, thread your needle with some yarn. Although I have four squares in each row of my scarf, I am going to start by sewing up the centre of the middle two rows of squares. Make sure your squares are all lying with the right side, (the front), facing up. 1. Above is another photo, to try and make it extra clear. In the photo above, you can see what I've just done. 2. This time, you will be taking your needle up and through the bar, in the chain that is at bottom RIGHT hand side of your square. You can see what I've just done, in the picture above. Now I'd like you to keep your squares flat on your work surface for the rest of your joining up. 3. Above you can see how your stitch is starting to look. 4. 5. Like above! Ta-da! Like above.

Lost & Found Lane: Crocodile Stitch The Easy Way I was very frustrated when searching the internet for a free pattern to learn the Crocodile Stitch. All I could find were youtube video's that are very confusing in demonstrating how they crochet this stitch. I had to stop and start the videos over and over again to get the basic idea of the stitch. If you would like a copy of the common crochet abbreviations I have created a "Crochet Abbreviations" reference sheet. Thank you so much for all your support and all your lovely comments. Keep smiling and Keep Crocheting! Love and Hugs to all!

Spider Stitch It has been so long since I’ve done my stitch-of-the-week. I’ve been keeping up with it as far as trying a new stitch, taking pics, etc., but haven’t had time to post them. I’ll try to be better about it now that the baby is getting a little bit older. The spider stitch is made with an odd number of stitches. Row 1: (sc, ch1, sc) in 3rd ch from hook, *skip next chain, (sc, ch1, sc) in next ch, repeat from * to last 2 ch, skip next ch, sc in last ch, turn. Row 2: ch2, skip first 2 sc, (sc, ch1, sc) in each ch1 space, sc in top of beginning ch2, turn. Repeat Row 2. Instead of an odd number of stitches you will need an even number. Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in each ch across. Row 2: ch1, sc in first sc, skip next sc, *(sc, ch1, sc) in next sc, skip next sc, repeat from * across, sc in last sc, turn. Row 3: ch1, sc in first sc, *(sc, ch1, sc) in next ch1 sp, repeat from * across, sc in last sc, turn. Repeat Row 3 until you have reached the desired number of rows. Happy Crocheting!

Anleitung: Sunburst Flower Granny Square haekeln ? Kasa Amend Geschafft: Meine Foto-Anleitung zum Häkeln der Sunburst Flower Granny Squares für eine dieser tollen Decken, wie sie viele wahrscheinlich von Sandra Juto oder dieser Flickr Group kennen, ist fertig. Für eine Freundin, die heute Geburtstag hat, wollte ich schon längst mal meine kleine Übersetzung dieser englischen Anleitung von MaryjoO abtippen. Nun hab ich mir etwas mehr Zeit genommen, um die Anleitung noch etwas detaillierter auszuarbeiten. Dank des tollen Fußauslösers, konnte ich die ganzen Häkel-Schritte selbst fotografieren und da die liebe MaryjoO nichts dagegen hatte, stelle ich das Ganze nun auch hier in den Blog und wünsche viel Spaß beim Häkeln. Wolle: Cool Wool 2000/ Merino Superfein von Lana Grossa (Das aber nur als Info, ihr könnt selbstverständlich auch ganz andere Wolle nehmen. Häkelnadel: 4,0 (etwas dicker als zur Wolle empfohlen, dadurch wird die Decke schön locker) Bedarf: Etwa 9 g Wolle habe ich pro Granny Square verhäkelt. ::::: RUNDE 1: Der innere Strahlenkreis :::::

Free Pattern I'm still here and everything is fine. I just kind of hit a rut where I didn't really feel like doing anything crafty. Anyways, here is the latest project.

How to Crochet: The Magic Adjustable Ring By Alicia Kachmar – 53 Comments One way of crocheting in the round is to chain 2 and then make a certain number of stitches into the 2nd chain from the hook (you can do so with any kind of crochet stitch–sc, hdc, dc, etc.–but for this tutorial, I’ll be using sc. This tutorial is for both right and left handed people. For left handed pictures, roll your mouse over the image and it will change for you. When you have the desired number of stitches and you join to the first single crochet, you’ll notice a little something–a hole! Making a magic adjustable ring only requires a few extra steps and will give your in-the-round projects a smooth start. With the yarn tail hanging for a few inches along the inside of your left hand, form a ring and rap around your index and middle fingers. Hold where both strands of yarn overlap along the ring, the working yarn behind the ring. Now there are two loops on your crochet hook. Do you have questions about making a magic adjustable ring?
