Loom Knit a Seed Stitch Dishcloth on a Circular Loom

Seed Stitch Dishcloth

This beautifully textured dishcloth is so easy and fast to knit. Best of all, you can use whatever loom you have on hand. I made sure to use a large gauge, mass produced, plastic loom, because that’s what most people already have. Those that do not, can get one online for under $3.00 and free shipping.  This was very important to me because this is one of my favorite, favorite gift for friends and family.

A teddy bear has been missing from my list of projects for way too long. Also, I love mini toys so this one plays into my favorite things more than once.

If you’re willing to watch the video completely and then try it to knit the teddy bear, you might end up with a really cute mini toy.

The Faggot Stitch – An Easy Lace Pattern

Faggot Stitch YO K2tog

Please note that I did not name it the Faggot Stitch nor was I trying to be rude. The term is from the late 13th century and was used to describe a bundle of twigs or sticks used for fuel.  However we feel about the word, it is a super cool stitch so please take no offense and so with our emotions and politics in our pocket,  let’s move forward with the pattern.

There are several versions, this happens to be my favorite because it looks the closest the Rickrack Rib Stitch but is much easier to do. Everyone knows I love EASY.

Tiny Chicks on a small 24-peg round loom are super cute. They are a perfect gift for spring, Easter, baby showers or your favorite little cat. I am in love with the bunch of cuties in the feature picture.

This is labeled as a project for advanced beginners because of the cast-off but you do have the option to change that cast-off.

Loom Knit Men’s Waffle Stitch Brimless Hat

Loom Knit Men's Brimless Hat

A brimless hat on a large gauge knitting loom is possible.  Paul asked if it we could make one that doesn’t roll. The answer is yes and below is the pattern video for the hat. Several of my Patreon patrons were making hats using the waffle stitch from the pom pom scarf pattern so I thought I would too.

Below is the step by step video tutorial for the Men’s Waffle Stitch Hat and Cowl pattern. It may look complex but it’s very easy. Just watch the video completely before starting the project.

Knit Wine Bottle Mesh Cover Sleeve

wine bottle cover

What a great way to dress up any bottle from wine to lemonade to bubble bath or in my case some delicious homemade Kombucha. That was the point in designing this pattern, for gift giving.

Personally I am a sucker for homemade gifts. They happen to be my favorites. Maybe it’s because I love to make things by hand.

Seed Stitch Baby Hat Pattern Video

Newborn Seed Stitch Baby Hat on a Loom

Baby hat on a loom Newborn

I love the seed stitch baby hat. It has great texture. The stitch is a type of rib stitch and so the hat has a lot of stretch. This works well when you making a gift and are not sure of the exact size.

The hat is brimless because I don’t like brims on newborns. Also, the picture shows a hat with a button, I don’t put buttons on a newborn hat. This is just for the pictures.

The written pattern is available in my Etsy store but the video goes through every step and you should be able to make this hat just by watching it. As always I recommend watching it completely before starting the project.

Tube Socks Free Pattern and Video

Tube Sock on a Round Loom

Loom Knit Tube Socks

Tube socks are the best pattern for folks that really don’t like knitting a heel or a toe. But why stop there, let me tell you what else is great. You don’t have to knit a folded cuff, no specialty loom and no need to worry so much about the recipients shoe size. There are so many reasons why I just love this pattern. The fact that is looks so good makes it even better.

The combination of different knit stitches give the fabric a really cool, textured stitch. I believe this is going to be a favorite for lots of loom knitters, especially beginners.

Ballerinas : Dolls on Circular Knitting Loom

 

I’m super excited about this project. I made five different dolls before I was happy with this one. I hope you all will fall in love with my little ballerinas. I’m sure that like me, you had one at home too.

The project is a bit complex and so I had to create two separate videos. Please return for part 2. The written pattern is for purchase because we have to keep the lights on at home and every little bit helps. I do make the video as comprehensive as possible for those that can not afford the pattern to be able to make this project that I love so much.

Is It Cheaper to Buy Yarn on Walmart


Make a name for yourself and then just sit back and reap the benefits. I heard this from my dad most of my life. Is that what happened to Walmart. They’re known by their low price advertisement. But is this true when it comes to yarn or is it just a perception? Watch this 3 minute video that might give you a good idea.

Its no secret that China is the worlds factory. For many years, Western countries have outsourced manufacturing jobs to China in order to save money and reduce their production costs. But how does this affect products made for Canadians? The answer is simple: it doesnt. Canada imports over $30 billion worth of goods from China every year from wethenorth darknet , making them our number one trading partner by a wide margin. Despite being so reliant on Chinese imports, there are virtually no safety standards enforced by the Canadian government. This means that most imported goods are not tested or regulated before they hit store shelves here at home - which can be dangerous for unsuspecting consumers who may accidentally purchase these unsafe products without knowing any better! Well talk more about.
