This comfy poncho cascades with a lovely drape that moves as she does, making it a stylish essential for any young fashionista. Free Pattern Several methods of carrying the yarn are described in the book, along with the strong advice to try them all before settling on one. I followed that advice and found that carrying both yarn strands in my right hand afforded me the most uniform tension. This also happens to be the most common Shetland method where, after all, they developed this style of knitting and should know a thing or two about how best to go about it.
Particulars: Bella's Mittens ~ free pattern ~ courtesy of Subliminal Rabbit! This is a very easy to follow pattern and I can't say enough good things about it. It's fun to knit, well constructed, and in a snap you will have mittens sure to delight your Twilight fans! My only modification was to reduce the needle size from US 8 to US7 as I prefer mittens knit at a tight gauge. I also knit these on doubled pointed needles rather than magic loop as I tend to achieve a tighter knit on double pointed needles. This pattern is currently featured in a UK craft magazine and has spawned many accessory knits (hats and scarfs) which you can read more about here. Sorry for this short and rather disjunct post. I'm tired and feel as though I have worked a thousand hours these past few weeks. Wanted you to see my home office (in the upper corner of the above picture) where I unravel complex accounting frauds. I'm afraid I'm not very tidy, but I know where everything is. I'm currently in the middle of a large case that is in full swing with pretrial filings and discovery work.Knitting for me is a means of self expression and defining who I am and that's really why I chose to knit this capelet for Christmas. Row 3: With E and larger hook, ch 3, dc BLO in next 44 sts; with smaller hook, sc BLO in next 20 sts, turn. I'm primarily a Knitter, but I also enjoying mixing things up and, lately, I have been experimenting with embroidery and wool felt. I'm pleased with the result and so am passing along to you this cute project idea, which is easy and satisfying no matter how meager or vast is your experience with embroidery.
In any event, this simple scarf reminds me of Colonial America and I couldn't resist knitting it in time for Thanksgiving. Customize the fit and length with simple changes, and even change up the color pattern to your liking.

Row 2: With smaller hook, ch 1, sc BLO in next 20 sts; with larger hook, dc BLO in next 45 sts, FO A, turn. Of course, wearing an appropriately saucy apron while doing your holiday baking does help put one in the proper mood! As will listening to cheery holiday music. My favorite holiday CD is Martina McBride's White Christmas which was recommended by the lovely Renee of Renee Knits too last year. Thank you Renee, I love listening to this CD! Using a macrame technique, the ends from the striping are knotted together for a fun finishing that doesn’t include any ends to weave in. The Hillside Hooded Capelet is one size fits most, and the pattern is easy to follow. This is a great pattern for a beginning crocheter who wants to start venturing into wearables, or for an advanced crocheter who wants a semi-mindless project to work on while watching something on the tv. It has simple repeats with just enough change to keep you from getting bored! However, I caution that because shawls are knit into a fine/thin fabric, the tie is largely decorative and for light wear only.
This beguiling crochet cape is an easy project that’s just the thing when you need a bit of warmth with dramatic flair! Simple to size, it also features a fun pompom tie for an enticingly playful finish! Free Pattern Cast on 2 stitches. Knit a 2 stitch i-cord to desired length. My i-cords for this shawl are 15" and 16" respectively. When your i-cord is desired length, form the leaf as follows: I invite you to join the Creations By Courtney Community on Facebook for exclusive coupons, giveaways and more. Row 1: With larger hook, starting in 4th ch, dc in next 44 ch; with smaller hook, sc in next 20 chs, turn. 20 sc, 45 dc, 65 sts In today's busy world I think we have had to sacrificed tradition in favor of ready made convenience. It's so simple when the grocery store has everything you need for a holiday on a ready made platter. But that feels so empty to me and many others. Instead many of us at this time of year will pull out favorite family recipes that we make each year that are special to our family and connect us to generations past.Feeding your cake. You will need to "feed" your cake brandy periodically during the maturing phase. It should be clear by now that I like a strong brandy flavor to my cake. Remove the cheesecloth and drizzle with approx. 1 tablespoon brandy and reapply the cheesecloth. Feed your cake brandy once a week by adding approx. 1 tablespoon brandy until ready to ice and decorate. If, however, you don't like a strong brandy flavor (and bear in mind the cake already has lots of brandy in the fruit) you can periodically add a couple of apple slices to the cake tin to keep the cake fresh, but remove them after a day so that they don't go moldy. I actually have begun doing this the past few years instead of adding so much brandy and actually like it better. Keeping with a colonial theme, this is a rustic but tasty salad that compliments the flavors of the Fall harvest. It's a great dish to take along when meeting knitting friends for lunch or a large gathering of family. I mix the dressing ahead of time along with the pecans and then just pour it over the green salad just before serving. I hope that you will enjoy this salad as much as I do! This month has just been flying by, which is great for me because I have been waiting anxiously for over a month to share my new design with you! Even so, I didn't embark upon this venture lightly, or without advance preparation. I've had the book The Art of Fair Isle Knitting, History, Technique, Color & Patterns by Ann Feitelson for years, which I pulled out and reread in earnest. The best piece of advice I gleaned from this book was that if I did nothing else I needed to master carrying two colors of yarn simultaneously if I was ever going to enjoy knitting fair isle. While it's possible to knit with just one color yarn at a time and then drop and switch colors as needed, this will never allow you to develop a rhythm or uniform tension. Two garments in one! Choose your favorite way to wear this unique wrap, choose your favorite colors to fit your wardrobe. It’s so fast and easy to make, you’ll want more than one. Free Pattern
