How to do a Wire Spiral Video Tutorial

A wire spiral is very useful for several craft projects. I like to use them as card holders for seating arrangements. You can also put short announcements, reminders and even a quick list. They can also hold your post it notes off your computer screen. For that I might need 12 bakers dozen. Not to worry, because they are quick and easy to make. Now all you have to do is make the base and for that I have a cute idea below.

This short video shows how to make wire spirals with supplies you probably already have at home. No special tools are necessary. ( Read More )…

Braided Headband on a Round Loom

I wanted to design a warm braided headband that would look cool and stylish. This project takes very little yarn, and can be done in just a few hours.

Some Caron Simply Soft in jewel tones would be beautiful.

Chinese Wave Stitch on a Knitting Loom

So I’m officially obsessed. The Chinese wave stitch is beautiful. It is also know as the Rich Man’s Garter, the Knit Loop Stitch and the Slip Stitch Honeycomb.

Put in simple terms – I love it ! I’m hope you will too.

Avoid Knitting Ladders on Your Loom Knit Hat

A few of my followers have asked me to show them how to avoid knitting ladders. Ladders happen when you have stitches that are more loose than the rest of the fabric. They cause an ugly seam down your hat. After finding these on a hat you’ve been working on for several hours is very disappointing.
