The Lost Art of Knitting Nancies THE LOST ART OF KNITTING NANCYS Pictures and instructions on how to make and use them (Viewed best in Internet Explorer. Some other browsrs may not be able to open the image files. Click on main site to browse 70 other topics ranging from exotic kaleidoscope designs to the strange world of lucid dreaming. NEW!!! Jump down to the Innovations knitting machine review.) Whether you call them Knitting Nancys, Bizzy Lizzys, knitting mushrooms, knitting spools, corkers, peg knitters, knitting nobbys (or knitting noddys) or knitting knobbys, these knitting devices all owe their existence to the medieval lucet. It's used by threading yarn through the hole then in a figure eight around the prongs. Knitting Nancys are four-prong variants of the lucet. Versions like the one pictured above used to be made out of wooden thread spools, something difficult to do in these modern times since thread spools are now plastic. Yarn is fed down through the hole and left to hang. Different Stitches: To increase:

How to make Paper Clay I fell in love with sculpting with paper mache during my first project five years ago. However, I never really found a recipe that was worth the time and effort and mess that it took to get what I wanted. As a result, I used Celluclay for most projects. For my purposes, I ended up altering the recipe just slightly so that I could get the thicker consistency that I like. Paper Clay: 2 Cups toilet paper 1 Cup regular joint compound (the premixed kind. 3/4 Cups flour (The original recipe calls for Linseed Oil, but I didn't really find much difference, other than it was smelly and one more thing to keep out of reach of my boys.) Start off by soaking your toilet paper in water: When it is fully wet, remove cardboard center, squeeze out as much water as you can and break up into chunks. Add all ingredients and mix on medium-high for 2-3 minutes and viola!
How to Make Simple Crochet Slippers « Crafts IMPORTANT NOTE: This pattern uses US crochet terminology. You can find the SLIPPER SIZE, YARN and HOOK specifications at the end of this article !!! (To see more of my patterns, please visit my ONLINE SHOP!) I am an addict. An addict for crochet slippers. It all began when I saw slippers similar to these somewhere on the internet. I loved them so much I couldn’t get their tempting image out of my head. All I needed was a pattern. But because I am terribly, terribly impatient, I found creating my own pattern quicker than looking for an official one on the web. And since I’m no crochet guru, the pattern turned out to be really simple. Actually, these slippers might be the simplest slippers in the universe. Or not. But they might. This is what I did… Round 1: 5 ch (chain stitch); join into ring with sl st (slip stitch) Round 2: 3 ch; 7 dc (double crochet stitch) into the center of the ring; join with sl st Round 3: 3 ch; 1 dc into first stitch; 2 dc into each next stitch; join with sl st Row 14: turn (!)

MaryM's Original Daisy Bullion Edging, tatting with crochet hook, crochet tatting, cro-tat, Cro-Tat, cro tat, edging, trim, tutorial If you like the reocities.com project you can donate bitcoins to: 1E8rQq9cmv95CrdrLmqaoD6TErUFKok3bF MaryM's Original Daisy Bullion Edging©2001 - tatting with crochet hook, crochet tatting, cro-tat, tutorial, how to - Copyrighted. Please copy, reproduce, collect or redistribute with permission only. Finding little to not-much on the internet for tatting with crochet hook, I dreamed up this little design. I used No. 10 cotton, and a cro-tat hook for that size thread. For the "crochet" functions, you will use the hook. Begin with a normal first crochet loop. Begin the Ring (R) on the shaft of the hook: A tatting stitch is a two-part double hitch stitch (ds). Second half of the double hitch stitch (ds): wrap the thread over finger from the back as shown, pick thread up and off the finger onto shaft; slide loop thus made down to the first half of the stitch. Make another double hitch stitch (ds). Now make a picot (p). Now to use the hook! Chain 5 (ch 5). That's it!
12 Swatches: First Pattern Release! Drum roll.... drum roll please..... I'm happy to announce the release of my first pattern, Tanagra! I had a lot of fun knitting and designing this pattern. I had six knitters test knit it for me, and that was a fun experience, too! I loved seeing how the pattern looked in different yarn and colors. I even like some than my own version. Miss Make: Kool-Aid Dyed Yarn Tutorial When I was a kid, nothing said summer like a tall, strong glass of Kool-Aid. Grape was always my variety of choice. That intense fake grape flavor with a few ice cubes clinking around in the glass...oh man. But did you know, since Kool-Aid is actually colored with all synthetic dyes, you can use it to [very easily] dye yarn and other natural fibers? You could do all one color, but since it's so easy, it's really fun to play around with several different flavors and see what happens when they mix. The yarn I used was Knit Picks Bare 100% Peruvian Wool: There are tutorials a'plenty on this subject all across the internet, but since I did a little batch of my own dyeing a few weeks ago, I thought I'd throw my two cents in. UPDATE: If you'd like to see what this yarn looks like knitted, here are some pictures. Kool-Aid Dyed Yarn [variegated colors] Materials: 100% wool yarn 1 packet each of unsweetened cherry, orange, grape, lemonade & black cherry Kool-Aid tap water microwave collander 1. 3. 4. 5.
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. It was most confusing the way they were flipping the crochet around it was so hard to fallow along. It was even more frustrating when it came to watching them start the second row of the Crocodile stitch. However after a lot a trial and error and even more hair pulling I finally figured out how to crochet the Crocodile stitch on my own. 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!
Altoids Pincushion Tin Posted on June 18, 2011 Here is my version of an Altoids tin repurposed into a pincushion and sewing gadget box. The materials used in this project were from an Envelope of Doom (EOD) swap I participated in. If you aren’t familiar with an EOD swap, its where you put some crafting materials into an envelope and mail them off to your partner. The challenge is to use the materials you receive to make things for your partner and then return the finished items back to your swap partner. I was inspired by this Altoids project which used a magnetic sheet on the inside of the lid to hold needles and such. Over at Craftsters Rackycoo’s tutorial is outstanding and has step-by-step photos showing how to decorate your tin. I hope my swap partner will enjoy her recycled Altoids tin as much as I did creating the little sewing box. Tags: Altoids, pincushion, recycled-crafting, tin
