Felting for a Fuzzier Knit

Tina_Hilton, contributor | June 26th, 2008

Come Full Circle and Knit a Sheep

Tina_Hilton, contributor | May 23rd, 20081 comment

I love the idea of a hand-knit sheep made with a hand-dyed natural wool, but that's as close as I'm likely to come to owning the real thing. Who wouldn’t love to have one of these little lambs of their very own? The pattern is simple and fun to follow, and because this sweet knitted lamb is fairly small, it won’t take long before you're finished!

The Big Step – Try Something New

Tina_Hilton, contributor | April 3rd, 20082 comments

I sometimes think that knitting projects are like that old saying--if it's not broken don't fix it--in that if you have a project that you've made successfully, why not just make it over and over and over again? Well, for one thing it completely destroys the surprise of opening a handmade gift made by you. And, let's face it-it can also be boring. I strongly advocate branching out and applying your knitting skills to new and beautiful things.
