Two For One Crochet & Knit Tutorials

19 Jan posted by

 

Dear Creatives, You know I grabbed my crochet hooks & am starting to learn how to crochet. I did this round up of  crochet & knitting tutorials I thought you might enjoy in case this is on your going to learn list this year. Two of the websites have knitting tutorials! You know that is on my list too, but more about that later!

So I am grabbing some organic yarn & going to get started. So whether you are learning to crochet or knit, just need a brush up I hope you can find something you can use from this tutorial round-up!

Isn’t great to see these bright colors after the black out we had yesterday?

 

 

love to knit

Love this hot pink! I want a basket of organic yarns to choose from! Do you have any favorite places to buy your yarn from? A long time ago I knew this lady who sheered her own sheep, washed & carded the wool. Then she would hand dye them. We took an organic gardening class together. If I lived closer I’d run by her farm & she if she still is there. Can you imagine doing that? Rustic, romantic & dreaming of slower paced times. Ah….

& then I spotted this photograph, my heart be still. Yes, I am in love with color, yarn & things that make my heart skip a beat, like pretty photography. I wouldn’t mind finding a pattern for these little hearts. Maybe I could find one & stitch some up before Valentines Day?!

Just in case you missed this post about Amy Butler’s new line of Organic Yarn in my post Knitting & Crafting Pattern Love!  Stay tuned for a discount & Giveaway coming! Be sure and link up your creative projects, recipes… I’d love for you to join me in the forum & here on the site, so I can  get to know you better.

What is the first thing you learned to crochet or knit?

or have you been putting off learning until now?

I know you may of heard me say it before but it has to happen soon!

Did you know Amy Butler came out with a new line of patterns for knitting? Amy has a line of organic yarn called Belle Yarns? Here is what Amy is saying;

Amy Butler

I designed these great knitting projects specifically to work with my wonderful new Belle yarns. I wanted to offer a unique mix of fashion, accessories and homewares that are fresh, modern, and approachable. The 24 projects for home and fashion are personally inspired by textures, shapes and designs that I love and live with! The garments range from romantic to retro with flowing, soft fitted shapes and subtle textural details taken from natural elements. The home projects are whimsical and warm…

Dear Creatives, I am having a cup of coffee while pinning and waking up. So much to do, but the last lazy morning before school starts with early, early morning routines, racing out the door, driving in traffic……

 

Say no more, savor…sip….

 

So as I sit here savoring these last moments. I heart I could knit! I need to find a good book or class to teach me how. So I could knit little things like this cup warmer, swoon!

 

Tara Murray

 

Or crochet! These sweet little booties caught my eye. I love Tara’s Etsy shop she sells so many cute crochet patterns. This is the fall that I add it on my crafty bucket list of things to learn. I want to be sipping & knitting or crocheting!

Which do you prefer? Knitting or Crocheting? & why? Oh, if you do knit or crochet and know of a good book to start with, do tell!

What is on your craft learning list this fall? I’d love to know~

I vow to learn knitting this summer. A hat like this can be used year round when you live by the coast. I just had to smile when I saw the ears and antlers. Oh Dears, are you swooning over this as much as I am? The link will take you to where you can purchase the pattern at the cutest Etsy shop.

 

If you crochet this forget-me-not patterns is suppose to be for beginners. This would be perfect for those occasions when you need just a little something to cover your shoulders. The best part of Tiny Owls Magic Attic is she has her shop set up with offers if you buy more than one pattern.

Do you knit or crochet? If not wouldn’t you love to learn after seeing these patterns?
