Knitting Blogs Crafty Tip


Free Project - Making a scarf from scrap yarn.

Materials: Water soluble stabilizer, lots of scrap yarns, ribbons, thread.

Cut water soluble stabilizer in strips as wide and long as you want your scarf. Lay one strip down and layer with pieces of yarn, ribbon, etc. Make it fairly thick and completely cover the stabilizer. Lay second piece of stabilizer on top and pin together.

Sew a grid over the entire stabilizer, vertical and horizontal about an inch apart. Using a sewing machine is recommended.

When finished, rinse in cool water until stabilizer is gone. Add fringe if desired....You have a scarf that cost very little and will get many compliments.



TECH Knitting
A knitting blog that is more like a master class on technique.

Editor's Note: I came across this site on my own and although I'm not a knitter, this site has some of the best illustrations I've seen anywhere. The author of this knitting blog mentions that she had started writing two different knitting books but opted for the blog format as it was a much more interactive medium - how lucky for knitters. This site is definitely a must see.

Knitting Blogs Crafty Tip

When knitting garments with multiple colors, remember that the multi-colored areas are going to be a bit heavier than the single color areas and this may cause the garment to drape differently.
