Something New and Fun

If you might have noticed I have added something fun for you. If you look at the side their are pets that you can play with and feed. If you have anything else you want to see on my blog then just leave a comment on one of the posts. I hope you like the change and enjoy the fun of taking care a virtual pet.

Christmas Ordement

      Well it's Christmas time so if you want to make a card extra specil then why not use this chart. Now I haven't added the colour chart because I thought you could choose your own colours, also I don't have the colouring chart. I hope you enjoy.

It's Christmas Time!

   Well it's that time of year again were you go out and blow your money away. If your look for a way to save some money or don't know what to get someone, well I have the perfect gift. Make something! Yes I know it sounds like a bunch of work and takes up free time, but did you know that most people will like a gift better when it is made from you then from a store. The reason for this is because when you get something homemade you know how much that person cares about you. So come look at my patterns and see if you find something that would make a great gift for someone else.

Bloom Pincushion

This chart I got from "Just CrossStitch" magazine volume 29 issue 2, March/April 2011.

Reversible Cable Hat

Materials: Heavy worsted weight yarn, approx 200 yards (130g) (I used 2 skeins of Patons SWS in the Natural Pink colorway) Size 8 circular needle, 16 or 24 inches long. (Or size needed for gauge) Size 8 DPNs (or longer circular for Magic Loop) Cable needle Stitch markers Gauge: 19 stitches and 24 rows in 4 inches over stockingette. This hat is one size, but given the stretchy nature of ribbing, it will fit most teens and adults. You could reduce the yarn and needle size for a smaller hat. Directions:Cast on 120 stitches, place stitch marker, and join in the round. Round 1: *K2, P2* around Rounds 2-5: Repeat Rnd 1 Round 6: *K2, P2, C8F* repeat around. Repeat rounds 1-6 two times more. Piece should measure approx 3 inches long. *KEY*C8F: Slip 4 sts to a cable needle and hold to front, K2, P2, then K2, P2 from the cable needle. Continue in K2, P2 rib pattern (no more cables) until piece measures 8 inches long from cast on. Next round: [K2, P2] for 20 sts, place marker. Repeat around. 6 stitch markers total. (Note: It is wise to make the first stitch marker a different color than the rest to distinguish the beginning of the round.) Begin decreases: Round 1: *K2tog, P2, [K2, P2] to next stitch marker, slip marker*. Repeat around. Round 2: *K1, P2tog, [K2, P2] to next marker, slip marker*. Repeat around. Round 3: *P2tog, [K2, P2] to next marker, slip marker*. Repeat around. Round 4: *K2tog, K1, P2, [K2, P2] to next marker, slip marker*. Repeat around. Repeat rounds 1-4 until there are 8 stitches between stitch markers or 48 stitches total, switching to DPNs, 2 circulars or a Magic Loop when necessary. Round 5: *K2tog, P2tog, K2, P2, slip marker*. Repeat around. Round 6: *P2tog, K2tog, P2, slip marker*. Repeat around. Round 7: *K2tog, P2tog, remove marker*. Repeat around. Cut yarn leaving a 12" tail. Thread needle and pull yarn through all remaining stitches. Pull snug and weave in tails. The cables on the brim are reversible so you can wear the hat with the brim folded up or down.

A Reversible Cable Scarf

Materials: Heavy worsted weight yarn, approx 385 yards (280g) (I used 5 skeins of Patons SWS in the Natural Pink colorway. I only used portions of 3 of these skeins to keep the striping in sequence.) Size 9 needles, or size recommended for your yarn Cable needle Gauge: It's a scarf. Does gauge really matter? Live a little! Scarf measures approx 64 inches long, and 4.5 inches wide. Directions:Cast on 40 sts using your favorite cast on method. Row 1 : (RS) *K2, P2* across Rows 2, 3 & 4: Repeat Row 1 Row 5: (RS) *K2, P2, C8F* Repeat to last 4 sts, K2, P2 Row 6: Repeat Row 1 Repeat rows 1-6 for desired length, ending with row 4. Bind off in K2, P2 pattern. Weave in the ends. Flip scarf over and over and marvel at it's reversibility!

***KEY*** VERY IMPORTANT for reversible cables! C8F: Slip 4 sts to a cable needle and hold to front, K2, P2, then K2, P2 from the cable needle.

Want to alter the size of your scarf? To make the scarf wider or narrower, add or subtract 12 stitches to your cast on. This will add or subtract one cable repeat and approximately 1.5" from the width of the scarf.

Garden swan Dishcloth

Welcome

Hello and welcome to my blog.

Oh yes so know I have your attention. I will get patters for knitting, crocheting, and cross stitching so if your a beginner or a pro you can find all you need for your skill level.
